I detest phone ins. I've presented radio programmes (BBC Radio Sheffield) and been interviewed on them (BBC Radio Sheffield, Radio Hallam, BBC Radio Suffolk and BBC Radio 4) but I can't stand listening to 'Joe Public's uninteresting or bigoted views.
I listened to 'Talk Radio' now 'Talksport' from it's inception and during the wee small hours when things were bad it was like company, strange I know.
For 'company', in the early hours of the morning, you simply can't beat 'The Dark Lord', with his 'Best Time of the Day Shoe' (sic)
;-)
