Gary Richardson is a bit scary
I’m not sure if he’s like it in real life but he doeas seem to have a sinister edge to his interviewing style. The Today Programme sports presenter really give me the creeps.
He interviews in the same style as James Naughtie and the rest but in the world of sport do we really need this style of questioing?
There’s an example here of him interviewing Anna Kournikova and giving her a hard time. Take a pill Gary and relax - be nice to your guests.

frightens the life out of me every sunday in sports week - I cope by imagining alan partridge

Gary richardson is exactly what the prima-sportslebrity needs. Asks uncomfortable questions. If you want stupid see the oaf that does the SKy post match backslaps. Like birds chatting in starbucks.
“you’ve just beaten the league leaders and broke into a Champs league spot, will the club kick on from here, and how much of a platform is this build on’?
If you want polite puff read Hello. impolite to his guests. how pitiful.

He does give sport stars hard time, but I’ve heard him give amateur athletes given a good grilling - not called for.
He needs realing in sometimes.
