    As a radio nerd from the UK, my love of the BBC is rock solid. The radio, TV, and technology wings of the corporation are right up the with the NHS as something we should be rightly proud of.

    But I get a few moments of genuine anxiety when I’m listening to 6Music while cooking dinner, and they go to the news. What will this bulletin’s headline be? Reform’s plans for if they ever get to form a government, or how many poor people landed on our shores in a small boat today? I get genuinely angry, to the point that I’m more like to roll the broadcast back by a few minutes so I can skip the news entirely. God bless BBC Sounds.

      Same. Exactly the same including radio station of choice (though I also like Radio 1 Dance at times)
