Here's an interesting one - Jack Saunders will be in for Nick Grimshaw on Wednesday 31st March, with Jess Iszatt covering Jack's show that evening.

Just curious where you saw that? I checked the schedule and I could not see anything.

Ooh that’s interesting - correct me if I’m wrong but I think that’s the first time he’s covered a proper daytime show as opposed to him doing the Indie Show on the nighttime takeover?

Yes I think it is! I'm very interested to hear how he sounds. I really rate him as a broadcaster and he seems to have a great personality so him covering Grimmy should be good!

Thrust would be quite interesting change of style and programming from the time he pops up odd time to time speaking on daytime shows and some game features of battle of fans before on indie show he seems he could fit day time do feel like it would be good to get a specialist presenter back on day time again as Huw Stephens did good cover and his own show on Saturday and Sunday afternoons for years so think it would be good to have that passion for music and bring some more specialist with entertainment that fits daytime again. I mean Annie covered Fearne Cotton possibly Clara vise versa so seems like going back to more blended between covering I mean it’s not far of to how Radio 1 Xtra or 6 Music would do it

Jack is an interesting one. Very lively on drive time. But he still sounds a bit too energetic and shouty compared to other daytime DJs. I think if he could be fine tuned he could work well with a weekend show. He probably won't find it complimentary to still be defined by Radio X but it's something I tend to listen to for something different.

This was easily the most coherent, well put together first Drive cover from any Radio 1 DJ I’ve heard.  Normally first time it sounds shaky and a bit amateur hour, but Jack put together a solid performance, and that’s a high bar to build from!  Jordan’s *first* cover on Drive didn’t sound nearly as professional as his covers do now.

I guess the dilemma Aled has is that the schedule needs more women... Weekdays only have Clara, which could explain why Annie Mac starts at 6pm

Isn't early breakfast classed as part of the daytime schedule? 

I do rate Jack as a broadcaster, he's very passionate about the music he plays. I did notice he did give out more detail while namechecking the tracks, i suppose something he's used to doing on his own show, although that's not a bad thing. I enjoyed listening this afternoon

Completely agree. Until today I didn't see a possibility of Jack coming to daytimes, but he was impressive.

      Jack Saunders' new show

      I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.

      Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them.

      Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter

      Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.

      Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.

      Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...

      I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation

      Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.

      I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.

      He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot

      Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later

      I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
