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?

    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
