I usually really enjoy what he has to say, but find him barely listenable if I'm doing something else at the time so rarely listen live - I can't be doing with his show being on in the background. In part because I find his voice demands attention in a way that few other radio DJs do, and also I guess because the music he plays is so wildly eclectic.
So I mostly download his shows to listen to whilst driving - I have a long boring drive to do tomorrow and I'm very much looking forward to listening to this one then.
FWIW I don't think he's at all "Iggy" on the show, and never has been. "Iggy" is a stage persona, if you met him socially he would introduce himself as "Jim" and whatever the BBC branding says I think it's clearly Jim Osterberg who presents the show.
