Chris's Friday Extra Podcast

Recommended Posts

Since Chris claims that his podcast is not a one-off thing, I think a separate thread is in need. 

My initial thoughts: it's a really good idea. 

Chris is really good when he's talking to other people, but sounds slightly 'staged' when he's alone. I think it's something in his voice, you can hear that he's reading the script instead of just talking.
We get some really good, unknown stuff - Chris used to be a phone call receiver at R1 (I for once didn't know that he used to work behind the scenes) and what's one feature that Greg will have on his Breakfast. He also called Beccy - quite weird that he says she's one of his best friends and then says that he hasn't spoken to her for ages. Still, really nice to hear from her. 
I didn't really like Good News Jamie in this podcast, he kind of shaded Scott. I don't think he meant to, but it turned out cringe and awkward. 

Still a bit rough, but a decent start of something great.

Chris is sounding so much smoother when presenting this now, it would be good to hear him present a regular show on his own one day. Hopefully this podcast is a permanent thing.

Very true - it's become very slick!

I love this podcast - just if it was a bit longer, Chris seems to be being always pushed out of the studio for the next show - surely they have a studio he can work in alone for a few hours, and produce an hour show, I wonder how it works contractually maybe along the lines of "were paying you for 5 days a week, just because Scott is not on Fridays anymore at 1, you ought to be doing something work wise" or was it their idea to keep Chris busy while Scott is on chart duties 

whatever the scenario it's one of the best podcasts on the station, just wished they covered a bit more of the other DJs maybe have one as a guest each week to discuss their career and next moves and all

 

I would love to hear what Scott thinks of Zoe and Sara at R2 and all

    • Roman Kemp 😜 We don't know how Jordan is going to sounds on Capital.  It might not work as he will be restricted. Something that sounds good on paper doesn't always work out.  Not long ago Jordan was taking the micky out of Capital.  Can't do that now like he did at Radio 1 because the new place hate criticism.  I think Will was at radio 1 at one point wasn't he? 
    • Hats off to Chris for leaving a challenge for Greg.  To plan that out was great detailing and proves what a talented guy he is.  The post he posted on Instagram also links into it which is great to.  There is loyalty to Greg there so I don't think he's joining Capital.  Persephonica was looking for an 'experienced entertainment producer' a few months ago. I wonder if this is where Chris might be heading? 
    • Jordan North… Seriously though, out of the commercial stations I only really listen to Capital but I do think Will Manning is very strong (and could quite easily slot into R1). I also think Jimmy Hill is a very good commercial DJ (but probably wouldn’t be as good on R1).
    • First link made me blush 
    • Who do you think is the best commercial presenter? This is your view, doesn't have to be who has the most ratings 
    • Starting off strong. 
    • I remember Chase and Status being added to the line-up for Coventry after a drop out. At the time it seemed a bit random, but they seem massive again now!
    • That is a bit strange, yes. Fair point. Oh yes, I'd say both are equal. It's just they'll have been on Instagram for some time, whereas TikTok will have been a new addition in recent years, so something probably has to give. Us anoraks like to see Twitter as important, but I find myself putting much more time into those other platforms. Incidentally when I applied for a social job there probably four years back (wasn't successful!) I did say I thought the audience wanted more insight from the station rather than just content around the stars. I think they've moved a lot more in that direction, especially with the visualisation in the studio. You see more of Greg James than Harry Styles. I don't envy the PR machine at Radio 1 going straight from Mollie King's challenge to Big Weekend announcements without a break!
    • Since they starting the big weekend right at the end of Matt & Mollie’s show I expect they get to do the duties of opening up the festival.
    • Matt and Mollie and Sam and Danni have DJ sets on Friday of Big Weekend, still makes me think they are really keen to push both pairings in a hole left by Jordan.
    • Broadcast wise it’s going to be interesting to see how they handle the performances starting at the same time as the chart show.
    • Yes sort of, although it’s still weird that they tweeted when Mollie was halfway completed but did not do so when she crossed the finish line.
    • it would make sense to ensure both instagram and TikTok are treated as equals and kept in tandem as reels and downloads of instagram are growing when TikTok I think I’ve heard is stagnating.    I mean it makes sense to do less with Twitter or X as it has change. There has been a lot of change in how its run and operate with focus on making it a platform people pay for and its been volatile for advertising with lots of loss in paid promotions on the platform and the business worth has been waining and any communications and marketing for any business and organisations are seeing that
    • I feel like all ATB songs started with some sort of airport in their video
