Gaunt is seen by some as being outspoken and self opinionated. He has no qualms to being both rude and offensive to those not agreeing with his views. However despite this and probably due to this, he has managed to command a large radio audience following. Among the quirks of the show, he likes his listeners to refer to him as "Gaunty" and often refers to callers as "Big Boy".
