Think you'll hear Katie in the afternoon with Matt.

It's coming out on April 11th. Will be one I'm planning to get hold of. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Personal-Best-Rock-Bottom-World/dp/139973282X?ref=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=07fd47f4-d344-46f2-a7d4-b3e31f65d16d

Happy birthday Chris!

I can't really get into him covering Rylan. A very different dynamic.

Mollie explains why she's ending in Hull. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/twNcXodHYNYKjRmB/

Seems a lot more straight forward when there are just two voices.

Bring back the Sunday Surgery 😂

Spoony is doing a good job covering.

No I think they stabled the ship after Mills left.

Controversially I also didn't mind it. I don't think Jamie adds anything more to the programme than if it was just Katie and Vick, and it's different to Vick and Jordan, but I'd listen again.

Doesn't feel like it launched with too much fanfare, guessing they're aiming for business as usual

I quite liked him in with Matt, he had a way of bringing him down a level. I'm not sure how effective that'll be on afternoons. We shall see.

Saw this in the list of DAB stations yesterday. Interesting story about how it aims to be a station for tradespeople and builders. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/mar/01/fix-radio

What a difference six weeks make...

He talks about how he wants to prove the doubters wrong about being too posh for Radio 1. "It’s a misconception that I just swanned in here. I’ve been trying to get this job for eight years, constantly grinding, constantly asking to do little slots. No one is given a job here because their mum or dad helped them into it. You have to earn your colours." Times link here: https://archive.is/2024.03.03-002813/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/jamie-laing-interview-bbc-radio-1-made-in-chelsea-rq9dj8k3d

James is sounding good this afternoon, interesting he's covering Matt and Mollie this afternoon.

Vick claiming that the numbers are 'fiddled with' by others on the latest Radio 1 At Home podcast. Does she mean they multiply the number and weight them? 👀

Thanks, it didn't really register that it was the Radio 1 podcast. I even Googled it, haha. There's a bit of an assumption from the start that 'we're doing the show now' but I'm sure there's plenty who don't realise Jordan has gone! I agree Vick and Katie naturally have that chemistry they appear to dominate and Jamie just sounds like he's accidentally wandered into the studio. That said I think it's listenable.

It's a fair analysis @DC Also before social media people would literally discuss their lives on this forum. These days people just come here for the radio chatter. Also long live the purple emojis, that existed long before phones did them as default

Do you have a link?

Chappers used to take time around Celebrity Big Brother, we used to joke that's where he was off to 😂

Dev and Alice technically only did eight months on weekend breakfast as a pairing before they took over weekend afternoons after Charlie Sloth disappeared. It's not unheard of. But it does then leave another gap to fill, so seems messy.

It's something we keep saying it, but nothing seems impossible these days.

Arielle sounds like it's with her blessing.
