Talk radio - Reading to Ilfracombe

Evening All...

I have a little trip from Reading (Berks) to Illfracombe to do in the morning - arriving for a 0900 meeting. This is a good 200 miles.

I normally do most of my work around the M25 and listen to LBC on 97.3 FM. Its a talk station (you know the sort of thing - phone ins / debates etc). Can anyone recommend some 'talk' radio stations on route since I know I will loose LBC sometime around Swindon.... I know there is 'Talk Sport' - but I'm not really a sport fan so its not much good for me ...

Its a good three hour drive there and back so I want some interesting stuff to listen to. I'm not intereted in music stations as I can put CD's on ...

thanks for your suggestions!

cheers

Mark

edit: I do not have the new digital radio channels -only FM and medium wave etc ..

not the easiest way but you could record the decent shows off the net or DaB then burn them to cdr

talksports non sports shows are 10am-1pm then 10pm-6am

thanks for suggestions all!!

Did the trip back to back for 1.5 hour meeting (I must be mad)!

A combination of Radio 2 and 4 did the trick. At 34 I feel I must be getting old but I really enjoyed both of these stations. It must be at least 25 years since I have heard the 'pips' at 0800 in the morning!

cheers
