Paul Jacobs is in your face and proud of it. Uncompromising, unwavering and unnervingly loud on occasion, Paul's not going to let anyone off the hook.

 

As well as putting forward his views he also gives you a shot at questioning the guests. Just be aware that Paul doesn't tolerate half-baked arguments because he believes that whoever comes to talk on his show better have a premise and some good reasoning, because if he feels you're an idiot, you don't deserve to be shaping the thoughts of Liverpool.

 

Paul Jacobs is covering for Roy Basnett this week 10am-2pm.
