Hey all,

I've been listening to a whole lot of radio 1 of late, I normally get the news at one on my lunch time, and then other bits and pieces either live or via podcast.

1 thing I've noticed with Radio 1 as against any other talk radio is that their mics must be super sensitive or something, because all I hear on their shows is the rustling of paper, the clicking of mice, the typing on a keyboard.

Am I the only one who hears this throughout the shows? Totally wrecks my buzz...

It's especially noticeable on the Late Debate and on the News at One (when Sean O'Rourke is not talking)

Does Cathal MacGoille still heavily 'nose whistle' into the microphone while his interviewee is responding?? He even had to officially apologise for it once after complaints, but proceeded to keep on doing it a week later...
