Sara Cox, the new host of Radio 2's breakfast show, is on a mission to maintain the station's reputation for being pleasantly dull. Embracing the 'Foxy Coxy' style, she plans to curate a playlist filled with songs that are either inherently boring or have become dull through overexposure. Expect to hear tracks like 'Shape of You' and 'Rock DJ' on repeat.
Cox also promises to engage listeners with riveting topics such as 'Things you keep in a drawer' and 'Objects that are roughly circular.' Her guest list will feature personalities that spark neither strong interest nor objection, with names like James Martin and Stacey Dooley likely to make appearances.
In keeping with the show's middle-aged demographic, the playlist will carefully avoid any surprise outbursts from the likes of Trent Reznor, instead opting for the soothing sounds of Texas and Spandau Ballet. Cox aims to evoke a comforting sense of nostalgia, even if it comes with a hint of existential dread.
Ultimately, the show will continue to offer a safe haven for listeners seeking a respite from the chaos of the outside world, filled with familiar tunes and calming chatter.
