  • Very funny

    James is funny and sarcastic. He enforces the rules as they should. Best presenter on LBC. The show is light relief for annoying train commutes.

  • What could be better?

    This is a light relief. James is a champion for us and although the world is hard, having a sense of humour helps us get through. James’ mystery hour helps. I’m currently finishing off Queen Secret, A Kind Of Magic ebook as a publisher, so this is a good distraction while I am editing. Love listening to James.
