A mansplainer tried to tell Shelagh Fogarty how to present her radio show and it really is quite the listen
To LBC now, where lunchtime presenter Shelagh Fogarty took a call from a listener called Jonathan who was keen to talk about how much he knows about radio and, in particular, where the vastly experienced Fogarty was going wrong.
It’s not just what he said – well, it is – but mostly it’s about how he said it. It’s quite the listen (and she handled it like the absolute pro that she is).

Love to the family!
Random unqualified guy mansplaining broadcasting to a broadcaster. Sounds about right.

Sounds like Jonathan should stick to conversations with his reflection.

Don't think Jonathan understands how silly he sounds

There were also, just in the interests of balance and all that, some LBC listeners who agreed with him. But we’re with this person.
He is so funny. Ring in to a radio station with an opinion that, in his opinion, radio presenters shouldn’t have an opinion. Why not just switch off and talk to himself…?

Last word to the estimable @ShelaghFogarty.
Thanks for all the kind and funny messages you sent in light of the mind bending call to my show just after 3.15 today. Yes I’m fine and thanks for making me laugh too. Back on air tomorrow 1pm TALKING OUT LOUD
