Nick Abbot

Post by Champagne and Roses »

Liked him years ago before it rebranded to TalkSPORT - someone committed to radio, not a wannabe TV presenter, confident enough to play around with the format and improvise. I guess he’s still around - must be getting old now.

Oh. Unless he’s outspokenly pro-Trump that’s boringly conventional. He never bothered with current events at all in the old days. He had a good show with Carol McGiffin at one point where they just talked rubbish.

Used to listen to those shows, still remember the audio clip of carol saying BOOZE he would play.
Untill the day moz fucking Dee decided the listenership would rather listen to him talking about European football for three hours a night.

He's started doing a podcast with her - 'What's Your Problem? With Nick and Carol'. Quite good nonsense.
The real Boris Johnson died with Covid in hospital. He was replaced by a professional impersonator who has been avoiding talking to the press ever since.

I used to pay to listen to LBC's content to catch up to Nick Abbot's weekend shows and podcast, but then stopped subscribing and haven't listened for a few years now. Is he still suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Me too, he used to have loads of them, It was him that introduced me to south park as he used a lot of clips from that when it was out in America but not here.

I listened a year or so ago whilst driving home late one Saturday night and it had been reduced to the odd "ding" and him chuntering on about Trump.

I would have liked to listen to his shows but there's no way I was paying LBC for a listen again feature so I didn't bother.

I still think that in his day on the old Talkradio he was one of the best broadcasters in the country, his show was funny and innovative. I'd probably give it a go again if it weren't for the paid subscription model and the fact that there are 400 odd episodes of "The Dollop" available.
