Jono 39 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 I thought there had been some great voices on Radio 1 over Christmas. Vicky Hawkesworth, Darcy Kelly, and Rakeem Omar in particular. Also enjoyed Jess Iszatt on Radio 1's Chillest Show. Had a long drive back to Norfolk so had plenty of time to hear them all!

Old Codger Fan 0 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 From the odd bits & pieces I've caught, the evident excitement displayed by the new lot (including tripping over words, like 'Spitney Spears'!) was a great thing to hear - As opposed to some of the established voices (naming no names) who largely just coast through their slots with 'shout-outs', adding precious little to material supplied by the listeners ,,, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vorti 4 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 I wasn't really listening these shows because I'm just sick of anthems, but I've heard yesterday's chart show. The duo got a lot of praise from texters and rightfully so. Introducing almost 40 Christmas songs on New Year's Day is probably not the most grateful job ever, but they nailed it. Alex & Numi get a thumbs up from me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NathanS 1 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Would like to hear everyones views of this years guest presenters. For me, of the daytime presenters (from what i heard), James Cusack was the stand out for me, i thought he fitted right in with R1's format, and would like to hear him cover again as i think he would fit in well (they could do with a cover presenter who could cover across a variety of shows like Jordan did before he gained a show of his own). Rakeem Omar and Sam Macgregor (who co hosted life hacks) were also ones to watch for me. Quite a few of them were impressive tbh. Of the nighttime specialists i heard small bits of, Dan Alani was good sitting in for Annie, as was Sarah Storey on NYD (although i had heard her on Capital already so already knew what to expect). Dan would be a good one (providing he's free to do so) to step in when Jack Saunders is away. Overall i was impressed, hopefully it leads to some opportunities for some of them, either as cover, a shot at the Friday early breakfast rotation or opportunities elsewhere in the radio industry.

TheSaviourisHere 2 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 The guy who covered the Rock Show was my stand out. Other highlights were Sarah Story on New Years Day Dance, James Cusack, Dean Mcculloch and Rakeem Omar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
