Unofficial Mills

Radio 1 Podcasts


THIS IS THE BBC

Recommended Posts

Just thought about making a thread about the ever-growing number of radio 1 podcasts, comments, recommendations etc.

There are currently 9 regularly released podcasts, these include:

Scott Mills Daily, The Greg James Podcast, Annie Mac's Mini Mix, Radio 1's Screen Time, Radio 1 & 1Xtra's Stories, Radio 1's Life Hacks Podcast, Niki and Sammy's Peachy Podcast, Unexpected Fluids and Kench*.

*So far, under the Kench feed, podcasts have included: Ray Moss, Birthday Girls' House Party, The Andy Field Experience, Ed & Lauren, BattleActs! and The Comeback.

Chris's Friday Extra Show is also released weekly under Scott Mills Daily on the podcast sites.

Movies That Made Me is now released regularly under 'Screen Time'.

The following are also still available from the past:

Newsbeat, Life and Death Row, I Hear Voices, The Radio 1 Vintage Interviews, Ed and Lauren Get On, Best of Nick Grimshaw, Movies that Made Me and How I Got Here from Radio 1's Academy.

Old episodes of the That's What He Said podcast are still available under 'The Greg James Podcast'.

There definitely seems to have been a big push from about 5 podcasts to 17 in the last few months now with Entertainment, Comedy, Documentaries, Movies and Music all featured across the range.

Just noticed, does the airing of these podcasts mean that Radio 1 Stories is off now?

Yes the 3-4 slot now just includes:

Mon - Artist Takeover

Tue - Specialist Chart

Wed - Comedy (Ed and Lauren)

Thu - Comedy (Niki and Sammy)

Fri - Changes a lot - has been Greatest hits, residency etc. in the last few weeks (Should also change to comedy in about a month)

 

Radio 1 Stories is now just made as a podcast to download and doesn't seem to be aired at all.

I haven't actually listened so I don't know for sure, but weren't documentaries supposed to be a part of the new Sunday Surgery/Life Hacks slot?

Has anyone else noticed that full songs keep being left in Scott's podcast? I'm not sure whether it's on purpose or not, but it's happened several times recently.

(Tuesday's podcast is still missing.)

Also it's a shame they're not using the Best In Show shows for some real classic Mills - they could probably air stuff like Flirt Divert and Badly Bleeped TV again and it would be a new audience, hearing it for the first time.

I have also noticed this. It tends to be between 3pm-3:30pm that it happens, but I don't know if it's intentional.

Is anyone else listening to the comedy podcasts?

  • I quite enjoyed the Ed and Lauren Get On podcast (which has recently finished) due to their funny but down to earth style. It just feels very relaxed and I could see this being brought back as they seem to be quite natural on the radio. General discussions about the funny side of life in a great partnership of real-world comedians.
  • Niki and Sammy's Peachy Podcast however hasn't been great as they spend most of the time talking about themselves and often have to have guests for the show to sound entertaining - it seems very similar to Grimmy's show - forced fun, reliance on guests and awful features (description friction in this case). They are just run-of-the-mill youtubers though so no great expectations here!
  • Scott and Chris' Best in Show is great, replaying games and features from the past couple of years, I t would be better though if they went back even further to things we won't all remember or have heard before bu overall, it works well and is a great idea as a lot of radio is never repeated but Scott's show deserves to be promoted in this way due to its long history for being so entertaining.
  • The Kench podcast will feature many shorter series', the current of which being Ray Moss - No Stone Unturned. This is very different from the others as it is a fictional, light-hearted detective series in which he tries to investigate mock-up cases sent in by listeners. It seems very good in the way the stories are quite funny and interesting and he is a great character.

So all in all these new podcasts are a great addition to the R1 collection and I would recommend them to people who enjoy the existing podcasts. In my eyes a much better idea than the constant documentaries and R1 takeover's we were bombarded in this slot before!

Enjoying the amount of podcasts - never short on something to listen to anymore.

Im sure in the first best of podcast Scott said they may get into older stuff so can imagine after next few more starting to delve into tap end etc but think we’re unlikely to hear of anything pre-Chris 

also enjoing Nicky and Danny’s peachy podcast their episode with Scott and Chris about bad jokes was great - reflecting on the lolathon

Does anyone thing BBC Podcasts will ever be on Spotify? 

I always listen to Podcasts on there so find myself forgetting about the BBC ones every now and then purely because all my podcasts are in the same place (apart from BBC). 

Also, you cannot listen to BBC iPlayer Radio App with Sonos which is how I pretty much how I listen to everything. 

Just a hit inconvenient really. Would be nice for them to publish on Spotify as well as iTunes etc.

Get yourself the Apple Podcasts app if you have an iPhone (not sure about Android). You can download the podcast to your device and play it as a local file through Sonos.

For those who don’t follow Jordan North on twitter, himself and his friend William Hanson have a great podcast called ‘help I sexted my boss’

Not a radio1 podcast so some of you may have missed it as can’t get promoted on the radio either, although I can’t see why radio1 won’t him one commission soon as this shows loads of potential

    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
