Wow, Zane is sounding on form today. Maximo Park (who I want to see in May!), Bloc Party live, and classic Linkin Park. Huge love for Radio 1 tonight.

I can't believe practically eight or nine months after Zane Lowe went in to the studio asking Scott if he'd 'got milk' me and my friend still joke about that. Whenever we talk about Zane we mention milk, haha.

Good lord, Your Call is only half hour, not three hours. If every caller was live, we'd be there for hours trying to get a listener to finish their request. The whole point of the pre-records is to sound slick. Not all callers are pre-recorded, infact when Sara fills in I think all her requesters are live (or she's just poor at cutting them off in time, haha). The team don't work all morning and afternoon just to work during 4pm and 7pm. Those who text in, and are lucky enough, get a call back the next day, or the next week. In this day and age, with people taking offence to anything, using pre-recorded callers is the safest way to go.

Poor Mary, what next, gutted that Paul O'Grady records Thursday and Friday's shows at the start of the week? Or that Big Brother has a minute or two delay? Hehe.

Seriously though, it's your favourite bit of the show?

lol yes, I know - but I do like it!

I realised that there is an element of pre-recording in any "live" phone in show - my ex was a radio dj and he did a request show, but it was almost live - he would take the calls during the show, edit them and put them out five minutes later, and occasionally a completely live one got thrown in for good measure. So it was partly prerecorded, but even then only by minutes! So is that how Scott does it, or is it all prepared and recorded in a lump, with just the links live? Because if so, I just think it is stupid for him to keep urging listeners to call in at five to six. But perhaps his listeners are just sticking to the levels of naivety they have shown in other circumstances, and believe everything they hear!

And Paul O'Grady and Big Brother can do what they like, I have never watched either!

I think that's more a BBC Radio issue.

Where did he work? It doesn't mean all of Scott's callers are pre-recorded either. You do get callers talking about something discussed in the entertainment news.

Because if so, I just think it is stupid for him to keep urging listeners to call in at five to six. But perhaps his listeners are just sticking to the levels of naivety they have shown in other circumstances, and believe everything they hear!

Like I said, it's a mix. What is good about Your Call is that they all have a story to tell, or are nuts. You wouldn't get that if people just rang in and were plonked on-air. Infact it's the only reason I don't moan about it, because sometimes there are good anecdotes.

And Paul O'Grady and Big Brother can do what they like, I have never watched either!

Ah, I always put you down as more of a Richard and Judy fan.

Well however they do it, I like it. And no, not Richard and Judy either, although I used to watch This Morning when they did that if I was home. I don't bother any more, since they left. I just plain don't watch much telly, I think! Apart from CBeebies. Balamory is on now.........

    • 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 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • 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.
