Eats Everything is now in for Pete Tong on Friday 18th April, not The Blessed Madonna.

It is strange though that he's only doing one day and Matt & Jerry are doing the other three.

Goodier show sounds good

I seem to recall Vick and Jordan mentioning once on the 'At Home' podcast that they prefer presenting in a pairing/group these days. So while Vick might host solo sometimes it's only on rare occasions. And with Going Home it's very much treated as a multi-person show. So while you can do the odd solo edition those in charge probably think you wouldn't want a week of it. Plus I guess it's a good chance to get Sam & Danni weekday practice and exposure (and same with Emil). Because otherwise yep as you say Vick and Katie are both certainly capable of doing shows solo.

1st April No Melvin, just Ricky and Charlie. 12th April Rene LaVice in for Charlie Tee. 21st April Alyx Holcombe in for Daniel P Carter on the Radio 1 Rock Show.

Tee in for Free sounding good this evening

Tbf, it's quite common for the early breakfast presenter to cover the main breakfast show on bank holidays. Arielle did it several times, as has Dean since he took over. I'm assuming Matt & Jerry/Mollie are the main breakfast cover still.

It's great to see Chris doing so well after going through this massive life changer. I love how honest he has been in speaking about it, and the message is a really powerful one that will hopefully bring a lot of awareness and I'm sure will help others massively. Hearing him talk about it on the Crouchy podcast was brilliant too - they have a huge audience and it must have been really daunting to put himself in the spotlight on such a sensitive and personal experience. He really is a top bloke, I'm so glad it was caught early and he can spread the word now.

I almost feel like he should just be there as Katie’s cover, it will make the show a whole lot more consistent with Vick, Jamie and him presenting all the Going Home shows between them, and as you say, he sounds very good with Vick. (And as tomorrow shows, they don’t mind putting him on alone either!)

Have to say am really enjoying Emil on the show on the occasions he gets to cover. He & Vick seem to have that Vick & Jordan spark which is impressive given they've only done a handful of shows together. Between Going Home or covering Matt Edmondson you end up hearing Emil at some point most weeks at the moment.

I thought Jamie did really well for himself with his Comic Relief challenge. Hard for the haters to complain about him during that week! And he managed a full week of radio 🤣
