Hi Everyone,

I'm from Montreal, Canada and love listening to Scott during the daily commute home. He brings a smile to my face after a stressful day at the office. :D Keep up the good work, would love to hear more prank calls. When I get the opportunity I listen live. The variety in music has made me enjoy lots of european bands seeing that there is a great variety in the songs played during the show. Keep up the good work guys!

Take Care!

Hey all!

I'm from Alabama, in the US and have been listening to Radio One since the beginning of 2010. Hey all!

I have enjoyed listening to Radio 1, as it has opened my ears to new music (most of it I would never have heard before).

I love listening to Scott on the drive home from work, especially Oh! What's Occurring and the answers from Stupid Street -- always a guaranteed laugh!

Anyway, hope to "meet" many of you soon!

Kyle

Guten Tag! My name's Christian and I'm off of Germany. I've been listening to Scott Mills online since 2007 and I love the show. By the way, I would like to apologise for Germany's Eurovision entry.

It's hilarious that most Germans believe that this gockney (German mockney) is an actual English accent. :D

I'm Danish, but I live in Germany, so I know the German entry. The accent is so annoying, oh dear.

The Danish entry is quite good, though. And they like it in Russia and all, because the male singer is already a big star over there, haha.

Anyway, welcome along!

Aahh, I have been doing the Brazilian Rainforest in Geography for a few terms now.. God knows how many times I've had to stand at the front of the class and talk about Cattle Ranching, Gold Mining, Farming, etc.

Seems that I'm the first Swiss member of this page... Or is there anyone else?

I came across Scott's podcast when I searched itunes for some English podcasts to improve my English... ;) He's such a funny guy!

And, to all members off've Austria: where exactly are you from?

This has been covered before on the show, maybe Scott isn't the best person to look at to improve your English (:

yeah, I heard that too ;) but I don't believe him... I like his show and he's easy to understand ;)... I tried listening to Chris Moyles, Fearne, etc., but Scott is much easier to understand :D

he has a "home counties" accent meaning that it's pretty clear... but what annalie meant was that Scott uses a lot of colloquialisms in his speech such as off of which aren't standard english, so you just have to be a bit weary...

thanks for warning me :) that's what I want to hear; things such as off of, that's what I like about the show... And for learning standard English I'm still going to school ;) but thanks to you two anyway :)

G'day, this is Iain off of Tasmania. I first picked up on Scott back in late 2007 while living in southern Turkey. Place name Fethiye.

I'd initially tuned into Chris Moyles via the podcasts very early that year after I'd got back from doing a trans-At delivery. I think the first podcast downloaded was the one where Laura was sampling alco choccies to see if she'd blow the bag. I have them all pretty much since then except for when my pet hate below rears its ugly butt!

Now I've gone right off Moyles but listen to Scott religiously.

My pet hate is when iTunes or the Beeb conspire to stuff things up so I miss a podcast.

I feel completed now.

Iain

Hey! Thought I said Hi ;) I'm from Germany. So, I listen to Scott since I've been in the US in 2006...quite weird :D

Love listening to whole Radio 1! It's so much better than the stations here...

Moin und willkommen!

Nothern Germany? Where exactly?

    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay tomorrow (Monday 29th April).
