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?

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
