or rather very Jordan South...

I love Dean on his own and I like Vicky with other people. Breakfast is better suited to a solo, imo. Or at the very least with an "alpha" main with side input.

You all are really starting to sell me on the prank angle lol. Although I feel like Katie would be playing it up more. This couldn't have happened on a better day though. I have literally nothing to do at work today but still need to look busy I guess.

I understand Katie not wanting to move. However, some of the biggest radio shows (Elvis Duran, Stern) in the US feature presenters in remote locations and I used to forget sometimes until it was mentioned. All in all Jamie and Vick doesn't strike me as a fully permanent thing.

Mirror headline is: The Mirror Jordan North quits BBC Radio 1 as he becomes latest star to leave amid mass exodus. Body of the article is basically just the same as every other though.

Yeah and Katie is joking about it so I don't think he's been sacked.

When I saw this posted in the Greg James fb group I thought it was just more hyperbolic whinging until I actually read the words. This is proper shocking.

People on social media tend to favour negativity but I have honestly not seen more than a handful of people say they like Dean. I can barely tolerate his show and that's probably mainly because I'm forced to listen to it. I used to love him on a Friday, it's just so weird. And I absolutely love Vicky...with other people.

Radio 1 during the day Monday to Friday. Radio 3 or Classic FM or Jazz Mix on Spotify in the evenings (studying). If by myself on a Friday I'll pop on Michelle Visage. Weekend is spotty but Radio 1 for chores except for Elaine Page on Sunday. If studying then the aforementioned.

Greg had Callum do an entire story last week while the audio of Maya Jama pausing to announce the winners of Love Island played in background lol.

Danny Howard or Arielle. Honourable mention to Callum Leslie and Ali Plumb.

Mastodon Link for the "Pretty Bot" due to new API fees on Twitter https://mastodonapp.uk/@BBC1MusicBot

Oh dear, just heard the story on Vick and Jordan that the surprise set listed for Introducing stage was rumoured to be Harry Styles and turned out to be Sam and Danni doing karaoke. Poor things lol.

Well I don't remember which DJ said "the" word but caller Teegan certainly said a couple other words lol.

Radio1 will forever be playing Arlo Parks on Twitter it looks like.

I don't understand this entitlement that certain things need to stay the same to suit some people I guess until they die. One of the "oldies" stations in NYC decided to stop playing Sinatra and other Standards in the early oughts and some people lost their ever loving minds.

Yes! When I think about it I would have like to seen her paired with Vicky or Dean. I like both of them but I think they need a balance for all that ALL ENERGY ALL THE TIME.

Kind of interesting that they list the average listener age when it skews a little older than the target audience. Makes sense though in terms of recruiting vendors, etc. as actual attendees are probably more towards the middle to top of the range.

Well listening to a new Cliff Richard song on Radio 2 right now is telling me I'm definitely NOT ready for the move. Crrrrrikey.

I absolutely feel like they make the situation terrible to get people to sign up for their fee service. Which they seem to harp on Every.Single.Break.

I'm playing catch up here as I only even started listening to Radio 1 in November of 2021. I moved to Scotland two years prior, had a few months before the pandemic hit. I had pretty much given up on radio back home except for the school run as even the non latest music stations were repetitive (you have 30-40ish years of music to pick from and you still have to play Hotel California two, three times a day!!???) and heavy with adverts. So I just listened to Spotify and old RSK shows on loop. I am kicking myself now, it not dawning on me that BBC Radio was out there as I have heard many times of the companionship felt during lock down times. What's kind of funny is one of the the first things I remember about Scott and Chris was the farting version of Do it To it which I HATED. But it wasn't long before I was silently cursing Doreen for printing stuff out right when Brother or Lover reveal was made or turning the radio down to make a phone call during the whoooo game. Man alive I used to look forward to Mondays just for that. Crazy.

I have no info for you but I am slightly obsessed with the "voice" that introduces Greg James. They have the slightest of lisps. I know it's weird, just gives me that warm AMSR feelings.

I have considered suggesting we put the office radio over to Radio 2. My only sticking point is the Jeremy Vine show. I actually don't hate the show, I just don't know that it's good fit for our workplace. I know the discussions are not always "political" but in our particular dynamic I feel like it could get awkward. If only I could keep my mouth shut lol.

His confessionals are good and the fake dancing plotline could play out well. I don't think he'll win but he's playing off as kind of middle of the road without being boring.

Thanks, that's brilliant. Tough to admit I'm actually watching I'm a Celebrity but kind of enjoying his sense of humour.
