    Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Thursday 16th July.

    Wednesday, surely?

    But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

    Some of these random combos are getting a bit silly now and it’s only going to get worse as summer continues.

    I get your point, but it’s not THAT random as it always seems to be from the pool of: Vick, Jamie, Emil, Sam & Danni.

    There is consistency somewhat, even if it is a case of whoever is available. Clearly next week is a case of Vick & Jamie having other projects on for everyday apart from Monday.

     

  3. Now I know Going Home's attendance has been a bit of a topic of conversation on here over the last 12 months... so I thought I'd keep a tally of who appeared when from the start of 2025. This is from the first proper show of the year on Monday 6th January, right up to Thursday just gone (20th February) which was Katie's last show for a while as she heads off onto Maternity leave.

    If we're classing a 'normal week' as Jamie appears for 3 shows but the ladies do all 4, they've only managed that for 3 out of the 7 weeks. (It was mentioned in week 4 that Jamie had swapped his 'day off' from Thursday to Wednesday)

    Week 1:
    M = Katie & Jamie
    T = Katie & Jamie
    W = Katie & Jamie
    T = Katie, Sam & Danni

    Week 2:
    M = Vick, Katie & Jamie
    T = Vick, Katie & Jamie
    W = Vick & Jamie
    T = Vick, Sam & Danni

    Week 3:
    M = Vick, Katie & Jamie
    T = Vick, Katie & Jamie
    W = Vick, Katie & Jamie
    T = Vick & Katie

    Week 4:
    M = Vick, Katie & Jamie
    T = Vick, Katie & Jamie
    W = Vick & Katie
    T = Vick, Katie & Jamie

    Week 5:
    M = Vick & Katie
    T = Vick & Katie
    W = Vick, Katie & Jamie
    T = Vick & Katie

    Week 6:
    M = Vick, Katie & Jamie
    T = Vick, Katie & Jamie
    W = Vick, Katie & Jamie
    T = Vick & Katie

    Week 7:
    M = Vick, Katie & Jamie
    T = Katie & Jamie
    W = Katie & Jamie
    M = Vick & Katie

    Here's an interesting one... Sara Cox is in for Scott covering breakfast on Monday 10th March. She was previously the main stand in for Chris Evans on the breakfast show prior to her taking over drivetime.

    In turn, OJ Borg is in for Sara on drive.. and Phil Williams is on overnight for OJ.

    I think this is a great move & she’ll suit the style of show Scott is doing. Something I was a little concerned about with the suggestion Mark Goodier could provide cover. 

    I do wonder if Sara feels a bit put out by missing out on breakfast permanently? Maybe this is a sweetener by getting her back on cover duties.

    I finally got around to watching the live tour recording online. Very funny watch.

    For those that were wondering, there was barely a mention of R1, so if anything was said it was either on other nights or edited out of this one. It’s two hours long, so not sure how that compares to the actual live show or how much could/would have been edited.

    Would definitely recommend it for fans of the podcast though. The guinness joke is included - and I personally don’t think it’s as shocking as they’ve been teasing. But that’s probably the point.

    I watched this live in the cinema and there were definitely at least 2 mentions of Radio 1, including one which felt a little bit salty about the way he ended up leaving (I think in an answer to a question about a job). Hard to remember the details as it was last April - but I guess he could’ve asked for it to be removed as time has passed and this is a permanent edition!

    Agree about the Guinness joke, didn’t find it shocking at all 😂 but maybe I’m not easily offended

    Angelica Bell is sitting in on the late show next week ahead of Spoony launching The Good Groove in that slot.

    Interesting choice & someone going Bauer to BBC rather than the other way round! 
    She’s been on Magic and covered Fleur East’s Maternity on Hits.

    I did think that at first too but looking at the post they put on Twitter says future pop is Thursday too, as well as on the graphic they made for Facebook and Insta and I started questioning whether they’d make the same mistake 3 times. Time will tell I guess!

    It’s written in the press release as Thursday, so I would guess the graphics/social teams used that as a reference point?

  8. I’ve been banging the drum for Sam & Danni on Weekend Afternoons, so these moves are spot on. Has it been mentioned if they’ll still be in Cardiff?

    James will be great for WB - that show thrives with a solo presenter because of the pace of the day. Unsure on the need for a Weekend EB, especially at just an hour. But it gets 2 new names into the official line up & should mean all EB/Daytime cover is done by people “on the books”.

    Jerry should be great fun with Matt. I really rated him from the week he spent on Going Home, despite having not heard a great deal of him beforehand.

  9. Superb for Matt & Mollie, it’s richly deserved as the show is so good.

    I honestly think they’re in for a Scott & Chris style long stint on the afternoon slot.

    They also appear in the Top 10 Programmes for Under 35’s on BBC Sounds latest data too. M&M are 9th, Going Home is 5th, Greg is 4th with 10s & 00s taking the top 2 spots.

    Help I Sexted My Boss has also made it into the Top 10 U35 podcasts on BBC Sounds for the first time!

    Nick Grimshaw is in for Rylan on Saturday 2nd November.

    This feels like a great fit and would be a perfect permanent show if Rylan decided to leave.

    Funny how we've got both Nick & Shaun Keaveny doing cover on both Virgin Radio & Radio 2 (plus Grimmy putting in a cover shift over at 6 Music too).

  11. I'm dubious as to whether the I'm A Celebrity stint actually helped Jordan's career within Radio 1, because he'd already been upgraded to all 3 weekend days a few months beforehand. Plus I'm pretty sure he was next in line for daytimes and that still didn't happen for 9 months after he did the show.

    But I think it did help his overall 'celebrity' status and got him onto Saturday Night Takeaway & probably within the eyes of Global when they knew Roman Kemp wanted to leave.

    I cannot see any obvious place for Dean to go, as above Heart is not the right fit because they want someone who is nostalgic for their core audience. Capital are sorted with Jordan... maybe Hits Radio? But they seem set with Fleur East even if she seems like a strange booking to me...(and again, her star rose after being on I'm A Celeb!)

  12. Yeah especially as he’s so on target for Radio 1. I guess the Perrie interview this morning would’ve been pre recorded? So even if they’d have chosen to air it, it would seem weird for her not to share any memories from the time she was dating Zayn. 

    Matt & Mollie playing 4 songs in a row at the start, not speaking till a few minutes ago.
