So they're really slagging him off in one of the Ricky, Steve and Karl Facebook groups. Having spent most of my life in the US, I only really know him from mentions on their stuff and now here.   So now I'm curious to listen to some of his work.  Is there a particular playlist or what not someone could suggest?

I'll post some clips to some YouTube videos here, but if you want a series of classic clips then headover to the rival website chrismoyles.net and head over to the Clips section. There's dozens there for you.

As suggested Chrismoyles.net has a lot of clips of various funny things he's done. But if you want to listen to how he generally was on a full show, I've put a mixcloud playlist together of a few of his shows on there. There's a few breakfast shows, and a fair few of the old afternoon shows. Personally thought he was at his best on afternoons but breakfast was good too.

Afternoon show ran from 1998 to 2003. Breakfast from 2004 to 2012.

For something different from him, the afternoon of 9/11 is on here too. Worth a listen as its one of the very few occasions his true professional broadcaster head was put on and he was serious.

His shows on radio x are better I think as he is totally different now to how he was in radio 1 days he sees, to have toned down his act a fair bit which is why the stick he’s getting to iac is wrong I think although he is 48 now 

Completely disagree here. His Radio 1 afternoon / breakfast period was exceptional, and while he remains a fine broadcaster, the shows are nowhere near the same quality. As you say, he's toned things down a fair bit, which is inevitable but less engaging as a result.

Spot on imo. You mellow out as you get older, so his early 2000's rants are far less. But it's also a combination of that and saying slightly the wrong thing, will offend your friends' neighbours' butlers' tortoise. Not saying going flat out to offend someone of course, but even a tounge n cheek thing to make someone laugh 15 years ago wouldn't pass now. I'm amazed Scott and Chris were able to get away with what they did for so long tbh.

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.

      So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
