G in the Park

Has anyone else listened and watched any of the G in the Park stuff on Greg's show this week? If so, what are your thoughts?

Thought it was a really good week of shows, particularly liked the late night stuff online with them all sat around the camp "fire" chatting. Also good to see and hear more from the production team too. Hope they do it again next year.

I loved it!

I love how good it looked on Red Button, with all the camera- Scotland did make a good TV production with the Radio 1 team- and Kenny!

Overnight was good, and heading Pippa, Travis, and Tom talk was brilliant.

I may have watched the overnight coverage for few hours/3 hours a night!

I agree with you, I thought it was very entertaining and great radio overall. Shows the very hard work of Pippa and Travis and whoever else behind the scenes to put such good shows together and come up with all that content.

I think it's a shame Chris didn't go- I feel his presence always adds something. Is it to do with the fact that he's BBC Staff, or just on this occasion Newsbeat didn't let him go?

Really thought it was one of the best things Radio 1 have done for a while. Reminded me more of things they used to do a few years ago. In fact, had reminders of Scott Cam watching it a bit. Greg definitely has a great production team behind him, and they seem to have great chemistry together. Full marks to all of them.

Yeah, it was a shame that Chris Smith couldn't go, but I'm guessing it is because of being part of Newsbeat.

Just noticed on Radio 1's YouTube channel they've put on nights 1, 2 and 4 in full. They're 11 hours long! Nice to see them put the full live camera shows on instead of just the best bits. May give them a watch for bits that I missed.

Greg is a worthy successor to Scott. Can't wait to see what his breakfast show is like !

    • People Party Playlist? WhooooOOoOoooOOOOoooOOooOOoooooOOooooooO
    • The irony of Jordan moving to Capital Radio is it seems to speed up Greg's eventual move from Radio 1 Breakfast. I think Greg's show is great, but he hasn't had any significant competition in his time on mornings. Now there is there'll be more scrutiny of the figures, he might be more tempted to move, which is probably what Jordan wanted before he left!
    • I think Jack Saunders if in for the long haul may mature and develop as a presenter with the opportunities to do big interviews and features. I think I really enjoyed him doing the late version of the indie show the presentation style of future artists got repetitive of presenting as if every show is the first time the shows on air with over explaining the purpose. But think this show could have a different approach 
    • Not a fan of Jack Saunders, but ...  This is a marked improvement over Clara Amfo (almost anything would have been) - And it's also better than what JS was doing in his previous slot - He's definitely been listening back to Zane Lowe, and drawing lessons from that.
    • @lochnessa what an incredible feature, really do miss the games from that show
    • Life Hacks is on 20.00-22.00 on Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th & Wednesday 15th May - in place of Future Artists and Future Pop.
    • Brother or Lover? WhooooOOOOooooeoeehrheroooooooooo.
    • What's your morning routine when you're working?
    • I feel like we all know how they'll answer that!
    • Makes sense, I always assumed they all went for 1D members regardless.
    • Do you prefer doing Capital Breakfast to Radio 1 or the other way round?
    • Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year.  They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart. 
    • I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.
    • Zayn's current song isn't on the R1 playlist so would be odd for him to do an interview I guess, not sure either would want it?
    • You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?   I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital?
