I've just realised that it is Chris birthday on the 12th of March. So are they going to do anything for that I wonder.

I am guessing a couple of reason here. One around the specialist shows at the weekend, as you say. also around that there are probably more listener during the week, and with more listeners more chance for donations. It is only 2.75 days. when the sole record is 88 hours, I think that record is very much breakable. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/longest-marathon-hosting-a-radio-talk-show

Looking at the press releases it dose seem there is an opportunity for it to be longer than 24 hours. Since it dose start at 9am on the Thursday, with a due to end on the Friday. I am going to hazard a guess that it will carry on till the start of the Chart on the Friday. I am also glad it seems that pretty much ever presenters is going to be involved, I am guessing there is going to be a lot of zoom, so also a lot of zoom failures are going to happen I guess in the middle of the night.

It should be good. I am also looking forward to it, it is going to make some good radio

Seems that the start of the warmup and then the main events is 11-12 March with a 24 hour show.

So it is LOLathlon again. Here we go

In the words of Greg. "Fun plans". I think most likely to be lolthon

Studio restrictions are probably one of the biggest difficulties at the moment. There are some good suggestions here. Greg On sabbatical maybe, he been doing it for 2 year, it probably a good time. Scot Chris would be a good temporary host of the show. I would guess that Jordan would then take what is now Scot and Chris show. Lolathon, or longest show, i think this is the most likely think. Scot Departure, surely he would do this on his own show. big weekend, or similar. was my first thought. I was thinking end of summer, when hopefully the worl

I didn't even think if this was related or not. but who knows if it is related Greg was Scheduled to take today off. I am sure he mentioned it as well on Friday, that he would be back on Tuesday. I know Mat and Mollie knew about as they talked about it over the weekend. If it was a 3 way LOLAthon, it going to take some organizing, with only 2 people being allowed in studio at once. But it is the sort of think that the 3 of them would do. If there is anyone at radio 1 who would attempt to break the record it would be them. I think with zoom it could ve

With the Red nose day trails also around at the moment and it being Scot and Chris. I guessing it going to be some sort of red Nose day challenge, which with everything going on some sort of lolathon or something similar would make sense.

I would guess it that they are hosting the weekend afternoon show, so it would make senses for them to cover the weekday afternoon show.

Looking at the schedule for the first week back in January, week starting 4th of Jan We got RMC in for Clara Mat and Mollie are covering for Scot and Chris Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th And Adel in for RMC. A sign for who will be cover for who.
