Are radio phone in people real?

Been listening to pop master recently and all the contestants seem to have idyllic lives. All married for at least 30 years, all live in quintessential leafy English residencies, and of course have a professional and rewarding job..... NO!

Why can't some geezer called Steve phone in? Unemployed, smokes 420, is three times divorced with ten kids he only knows eight of! And currently sitting on the sofa in his pants finishing last nights kebab. But knows his pop music.

I have Nation Radio Classic on now. It's brilliant. No advert breaks or having to listen to which d list celeb the dj rubbed shoulders with recently.

Don't you mean Ken Bruce?

Steve Wright would have felt at home at GHR.

I rarely listen to local radio and if I do it’s the BBC I can not stand adverts

Radio Solent is our BBC local radio and I have had the misfortune to listen a few times … the phone ins’ are awful the comments can make you weep with desperation for the human race …BUT it’s platform for people to use democracy ! Free speach … sort of … at home the radio has the ability to be on a 1~1 basis which is such an asset to folks who appear cur off from the outside world !

Yes, Ken Bruce. If Steve Bruce played radio like he managed football, nothing would happen. It would be '0-0 Radio'

Yes they could well be, if you can bear to listen to Sara Cox the person that phones in is always someone like Lisa from Derby who's auntie has just passed her driving test/accountancy exams/a kidney stone. Maybe it is actors so they don't say anything controversial.

Exactly this type of vomaton! I think the callers are crew members or media work experience students.

Yes, they are real, but fucking boring. Just like the presenters who just chat shit between the music.

They were VERY real back in the late 80's on local radio late night phone-in shows on Friday and Saturday nights. It was often me and my mates! They were brilliant fun!

We all used to ring up whilst in the 5th and 6th forms to Red Rose Radio in Gtr Manchester on Allan Beswick's show simply to cause as much trouble as we could before we got cut off! Course he had a 7 second delay, as they all did, so he could make sure nothing too risque was said.

Leeds had a "sister" show hosted by James Whale and if either was off or on holiday they'd play just the one show in both areas and I'd say Whale was even more "on the edge" with the content and crazy listeners than our "Mr Beeswax" as we tried to wind Allan up by constantly calling him.

Am sure some shows use stooges and plants. BBC1's Question Time certainly does. But radio back then was real. The oddballs and goofs that did call were way crazier than any script writer could conjure up. And we idiots tried to out do them!

On Radio 4 some years ago there was a comedy series performed mostly by the cast of The Fast Show called Down The Line.

It parodied radio phone in shows. Absolutely perceptive and hilarious. Tried to move it to TV. It bombed.

Try it. If it's not on the Beeb's website you will find it on Dimsdale Podcasts.

See if you can find a radio 4 show Down the line, it’s from the team that did the fast show. You will never listen to anyone call in to radio the same again 😂

Because 'Steve' is too lazy . self indulgent and spaced out and brain dead on cannawhizz and handling dysfunctional relationships as he seeks a woman to replace his mother and enable his manchild existence as he breeds to expand the population and take no responsibility for his offspring or his health or appearance to fucking pick up the phone. He's probably deluded enough to think the radio show should phone him........ it's his human right and HE WILL BE RECOGNISED !!

I loved the Radio 4 spoof phone in show Down the Line, but sometimes it was hard to tell it apart from an episode of Any Answers.
