Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo

Off topic, because not really relating to Jordan’s show specifically, but one thing that struck me when I was listening back today is the words they cut out of songs on R1 that they don’t on Capital. The word ‘kill’ is cut out of all of Kill Bill by SZA on R1,  not on Capital. 

Fantastic 👏
loving the new breakfast show so far! Jordan, Chris and Sian are really natural together, but I won’t always be able to listen to the full show. Are there any plans for a podcast/best bits of the breakfast show for those of us who have fomo please?

Today is the second day listening back, and I really am enjoying it. For me, it’s partly the Chris Stark factor though, I always loved his ability to take a silly idea to the next level. Getting the CEO of Greggs on the show to roll out a Jordan special, to give just one example.

Capital Radio's breakfast presenters have been really chuffed with the lovely comments you've left about the programme, and they want to give something back. So next week they've offered to come on the forums and answer some of your questions. Get your thinking caps on and post your questions for Chris and Jordan here. And who knows, they might rope Sian into it too. They'll have the licence to answer what they want, and I'm sure you have plenty of questions!

I listened back to this morning's show this afternoon, I thought it was sounding great.  Things are naturally comfortable between Jordan, Chris and Sian. Funny features and links.  The ads would probably start to grate after a while, but they weren't as jarring as I thought they would be, considering I've never listened to Capital for any lenght of time before really.
I agree about the weird track edits - some of them sound really off.  I do like that there's less dance music than R1 though, a good mix of older stuff too. I noticed they were chatting about young farmers and and Jordan and Chris both quipped that you don't have to be young to listen. Little dig at R1 I thought.
I will probably be sticking with Greg for the most part, but it's nice to have a more than decent alternative on days where R1 has an all day danceathon or something else I'm not keen on happening. I hope Jordan does really well there after the way he was taken off his R1 show. He's sounding at home so it's a good start.

He's alive and doing Calgon promotion! Those five weeks off have to pay somehow 😂

Now this would be an all-time-favourite feature, I love it already! It could rival the Bamboleo 'gap', and even Innuendo Bingo. You need to send this to the BBC bods and see if they'll run with it!

Considering nothing else changed with the show yesterday - it’ll probably be Judge Jamie 😆

Oh I suppose I want to add to what I just said about not minding Jamie and being okay with him getting the drive slot - I would feel completely differently if it had been Katie joining Vick, with Jamie as the last minute third host.  If that had happened then I would feel annoyed at an unnecesary celebrity hire had been brought in - I hated the Maya Jama - Scott -Chris Friday situation when that was going on. I do think Jamie is better than Maya was though, in many ways.

Maybe an unpopular opinion from me on this one - I didn't mind it. I quite like Jamie, I laughed out loud every time I listened to him when he was on with Matt, and the show today was quite entertaining. I'm not overly upset that he's posh or not really clued up on the opportunity he has been given - it's a job he's getting paid for, and someone decided to hire him, so that's not really his fault. He's not stuck up and he's able to laugh at himself, so he could do well if he knuckles down and at least tries to learn from the environment he is in.
My problem is that it was a bit crowded.  I love Katie so much, and she always has such lovely and funny stories to tell, I feel she was cut short in a lot of today's show. Which leads me to my second unpopular opinion - without Jordan there, I would have just preferred it to be Katie and Jamie.  I'm not the biggest fan of Vick. I have tried, but I find her too giggly and not always forthcoming with anything other than innuendo.  Personally, I can see why they brought Katie in last minute to save the dynamic, but as a trio I think there is too much going on.
Will have to see how it develops I suppose, but Vick on air admitted how the show has always had such a mixture of presenters because of everyone taking holidays, so it does make me wonder how often the 3 of them will be together anyway.
 

For discussion of the launch of the new afternoon show.
Oh thank goodness, they said they've retired the Heyyyyyyyyyy at the start of going home

I so agree with this but was too scared to say it as I felt I was in my own! 

I am sad Jordan’s gone, but I think I laughed more listening to today’s show than I ever have when it was Vick and Jordan.

I think Matt works well with anyone or on his own. A multi purpose presenter.

I think there is a lot of truth in this...if they let Katie dominate things a little, this has the potential to be ok.  The biggest problem for me today is it was almost like Vick and Katie with Jamie as the star guest and focus of attention.

Nothing wrong with that - it'd be boring if we all agreed on everything.
Though I can't see you getting onto Greg's show next time it does the above feature with that take. 😂

Such lovely news, and Chris and Roman both seemed quite emotional from the clip they shared.
I wonder if they will replace her or leave Chris and Jordan as a pair for a while? I'm not familiar with how they do things on Capital, but they would certainly be able to bring that 'lad' quality to the air together.  Scott always said that the everyman was under-represented on R1 before Chris joined, and Capital will have two of them fronting the breakfast show. It will be interesting to see what happens there, as they would have to pick Sian's replacement very carefully at such an early stage in Jordan's time on the show.

I am really pleased for Dean that he is getting a show of his own. I'll be honest, I don't think I ever listened to his show when he was on weekends, and I know people have commented how much better he was then compared to when put on afternoons with Vicky (no shade to Vicky here).
I used to be up at the crack of dawn, early enough to listen to early breakfast, and the style and tone of presenter is so important at that time in the morning.  When Dean has covered Greg on breakfast this year, I think he could be the perfect fit to lift the mood of the early morning listeners.
Can't help but feel there is a demotion there, of course - but a fresh start for him to hopefully put the controversy of 'taking over from Scott' behind him, and show his own worth as a presenter in his own right.

London?!

Fajitagate was one of the things that made me pay attention, their shows have such comedy gold and a tasteful amount of innuendo thrown in, I find them so funny. They are definitely up there at Scott & Chris territory I think.
