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.

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
