Apologies for the specific post, but did anyone manage to record any of Jack Saunders New Music Shows for the Sound of 2025? Specifically these two episodes since they’re removed from BBC Sounds now: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0026k1t https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0026k7s If you have them please DM/message me! Thank you so much!

I’m not getting to listen as much now as my office has the “local” Bauer station on and no one will change it. I’m listening to Scott on R2 from 6.30-7am and then I’ll switch to Greg. I’m still enjoying listening to Greg, although Scott being on R2 breakfast is proving to be a listening quandary. I don’t mind RMC, I do enjoy Charlie on Dance Anthems too. Matt and Millie/Jerry are really good Going Home… I think they need to get some direction with this. I’m usually listening on the way home and I’m just feeling it’s not working. It feels all over the place in my mind as one is usually off. With Katie going on maternity leave imminently, it will be interesting to see what happens next. Vick and Katie have always worked well together so I think they should maybe focus on those two, even if they are working one out of London and one out of Manchester. Weekends - Nat and Vicky - I turn off on a Friday and actually put on Vernon. I do tune in for the Noughties show but I’m beginning to find it a bit tired. When it first started, they had the whole two hours and would sometimes pull a few gems out that had been forgotten, it really did feel like a treat to listen to. Now it just seems that they play the safest options that are usually showing up on anthems every other day or week. I think it would be good if they maybe did a deep dive and chose a year and maybe looked back at a Radio 1 playlist from that week of that year. There’s so much good music from the Noughties but it does feel like they overlook what was popular at the time and just play songs that have just remained popular. I get they are appealing to younger audiences and my age group is probably due to move to R2 but… it would be good to hear some forgotten gems of that time

Nope sorry didnt manage to downloade these episode! Any chance you downloaded the first ever new music show with Jack Saunders! If you have it please message me

Yep the Jamie Laing and Danny Beard changes have meant that recently when you the words 'Changes at Radio 1' you do sometimes fear the worst. While I applaud Aled for making the move to put Matt & Mollie on weekdays, their show on weekends was so strong it sort of made the decision for him. If they'd never reached weekdays it would've probably been one of the strongest shows to never make weekdays.

Think they are focusing on the programme for now. I am sure a podcast will come in time.

Thing is I won't get to hear Scott much now he's moved. Except every once in a while. The same thing happened years ago when Chris Moyles moved from afternoons to breakfast on Radio 1. Reason being if I'm not at work, I'll be asleep. And if I am at work, I'm on afternoons and evenings.
