Turned on 6 Music there...

[SteveDave]

I met Cerys a few weeks back at the 6Music Festival in Glasgow.  I offered to buy her a pint cos I do really dig the show, but it wound up with her trying to buy me one.

I lit a fag for her in Clwb Ifor Bach in the late 90s. She winked at me. I almost came.

Mary-Anne HobbNob is beautiful and perfect and lovely.  And plays good music.

As a teenager her Breezeblock show was massive to me.  Got loads of tapes and minidiscs of her old shows, with fantastic guest DJ mixes.

For some reason I distrust her ernestness and enthusiasm for EVERYTHING. And she talks like a consumptive pensioner as well. Speak up woman!

she may play some good tunes but she'd never get a job on Radio 4
or maybe it's just cool these days to sound stoned?

I genuinely see your point.  That's the main reason I hate Zane Lowe.  But as it's her show, why would she play anything she doesn't like?
I like her enthusiasm.

Good.

or maybe it's just cool these days to sound stoned?

Yes.  Yes it is.

I like enthusiasm and am generally wary of guessing motivation but I can't shake it with her. I think it is because she uses the exact same awed tones about everthing she talks about, which is just not realistic. It is probably just her manner though. I am aware that I am probably being irrational

[Head Gardener]

Yes.  Yes it is.

oh wow that's far out, man

She did do a classical series on Radio 3 a few years ago though. Makes you think.

I swear she didn't used to sound like that when she was doing the Rock Show or the Breezeblock.

[SteveDave]

She sounds like she's trying to record her radio show without waking her mum up in the next room because she's on nights.

[PaulTMA]

Hasn't Hobbes voice changed considerably since the late 90s?  I seem to remember her delivery being more enthusiastic in an upfront way and these days she's more soft and restrained.  It's almost like she's consciously retrained in order to get work on radio for older people and in adverts.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Does she do adverts? Can't say I've heard her.

[momatt]

Not to my knowledge.  Which is lucky as I'd be obliged to buy whatever tat she was selling.

[holyzombiejesus]

Probably. Maybe Roland Rivron can reminisce about that in 2021?

What does Rowland Rivron actually do?

[Brundle-Fly]

What does Rowland Rivron actually do?

He still does the odd reality show appearances, voiceovers, head and shoulders telly appearances but these days he's a much sought after painter and decorator for the celebs, believe it or not?
