Every Wednesday night on Triple R, 102.7 FM from midnight to 2am.
A call to arms for those who want to know what’s happening in the world of pop/unpopular culture and who don’t want to be made to feel guilty for doing so.With pop gems from Brecht to Britney to Brill Building, I’d Rather Jack is for the dedicated pop jackdaw and the curious passerby alike.
Presented by Jess McGuire

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


People who can talk about Stock Aitken Waterman, Girls Aloud, and Billy Joel with the same breathless enthusiasm they muster up when engrossed in conversation about The Smiths, Kate Bush and The Pixies.
