Thought i'd start a thread on this as he's covering for 12/15 weeks 

Listened back to the show this morning sounded good, Scott is really able to adapt to the Radio 2 style and audience it's really good to hear him doing long links and letting his personality come out as opposed to three back to back songs, a 30 sec speed link followed by two more songs which was more how he used to be on drive on Radio 1 

Couple of bits I noticed 

When he interviewed Tom Hardy he paused and said "Edit" may mean it was a pre recorded interview ? or just a saying 

At the end he said in his seg into the 9pm news "this is a wisebuddah production for radio 2" so is he working for Wisebuddah then?

Wisebuddah produce that show for Radio 2, so for this stint he’s working with Wisebuddah’s production team for Claudia On Sunday.  The edit thing must’ve been something they forgot to take out in post, unless it was actually live and just a little nervous verbal tick, I noticed it as well.  I think it was really interesting hearing a bit of long form interviewing, and generally longer bits of content, but even though more music heavy, I feel his personality comes across more on R1, he’s more comfortable there, and I’m sure he’ll share more anacdotal stuff in time on Radio 2, he really is starting to sound natural there.

I wonder why Wisebuddah produce it? and not Radio 2? is it because of the time it's on and day of week easier to contract it out 

Also noticed he has his own jingle package for Radio 2 as well 

Your right about the being comfortable on R1 I mean so would you be comfortable with something your doing daily as opposed to weekly and that was the first show

I bet he sounds like part of the radio 2 family by January and I bet he gets more work off the back of it

It's politics - the BBC has to contract out a percentage of its programmes to private production companies (like Wisebuddah, Audio Always who do Life Hacks, etc) because of concerns it had an unfair competitive advantage. The quota was upped a couple of years ago if I remember.  Means licence fee payers cash gets handed over to for-profit companies/spent more efficiently depending on how you see it.

Is this show live? As I am pretty sure Claudia usually pre-records it. 
 

Which actually puts you in the strange situation where Claudia doesn’t do her pre-recorded Radio 2 show for 3 months a year because she’s on BBC One pre-recorded for Strictly results on a Sunday evening.

It’s live with Scott, you can hear through the interaction and how he plays in pre rec bits.

Another geeky question has Scott ever covered an evening show on radio 1? I mean past 7pm? apart from the lolothon of course when he's on 24hrs, or is the new Radio 2 gig the latest regular slot he's had time wise

Bloomin loving the Sunday evening show. Reminds me of why I fell in love with radio in the first place he's playing the music from my youth and great listener interaction old school Mills. I can see within the next year or so R2 will become his more permanent home. Maybe keep the Chart Show like Mark Goodyear did back in the day once a week fix of Mills with his long association with the Chart show. Also the problem of what to do with Chris is now fixed with the 5Live gig I'm sure if there own show doesn't become a hit Stark could find a place on the 5Live schedule. Interesting future lies ahead.

    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot 
    • I’m thinking the same redding and Leeds etc 
    • -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
    • - Jamie Laing will take a break from Going Home from 28th July. Sam and Danni will cover. - Greg James will host his show until 11am from 21st July (Monday to Thursday only). - Mylo and Rosie, who previously hosted Hits Radio Breakfast in West Yorkshire, will host Friday EB in July. - Charley Marlowe of TikTok fame will host Friday EB in August. - Tskenya Frazer will host Life Hacks with Lauren Layfield in July, whilst Yinka Bikinni will host with Lauren in August. - Jamie Laing and Katie Thistleton will return to Going Home in September.
