good afternoon, a happy sunday to you all.

i've just started listening to scott full-time. i say that, i'm trying to. i made the effort on thursday and friday, and have just started to listening to a lot of the clips on the website which have made me laugh out loud.

i've reached april's clips on the best of 2006, and i'll probably leave the cleaning of the dorm until later so i can hear the rest!

but i'm a little confused. why is scott on in the morning some weeks, and on in the afternoon other weeks. if you could explain this, and give me suggestions for what i can do to understand the show more, let me know.

Normally Scott's show is on in the afternoon but sometimes he fills in for Chris Moyles on the breakfast show for 2 weeks whenever it's time for one of Moyles' many holidays. And if you want to understand the show better then simply have a look around this lovely little site of ours, I'm sure it'll answer most of your questions about the show if you have any.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

Hi Lisa.

I'd say most of the site pages here are important, otherwise it's not serving its purpose, so I couldn't stress enough checking them all out :P

Team biographies obviously will be useful if you don't know the people behind the voices yet. You can then decide whether their ugly mugs fit the voice ;) The show reviews will answer any questions you have about things that the team bring up that may have occured recently.

Good to see you've found the sound clips, they take a lot of time to update, so it's nice to know people use them!

Ah yes, and find out a bit more about Chappers & Dave. When they're on, they're worth a listen.

And don't forget to keep chatting to us on the forum...

    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
