Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).

Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

In that case, I think you're right!

I'm unsure why they list Monday's overnight show under 'OJ Borg', as it's been Phil's show for about two years. Only thing I can think is for the benefit of BBC Sounds, keeping all 5 weeknight overnight shows under one link/listing?

A couple more changes:

Edith Bowman in for Jo Whiley for two weeks starting Monday 19th August.

Phil Williams in for OJ Borg on Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd August.

Spoony is in for Scott Mills on Friday 23rd August.

Paddy O'Connell in for Rob Beckett on Sunday 25th August

Bank Holiday (26th August) is currently listed as:

Oliver Hides in for Owain Wynn Evans

Gaby Roslin in for Zoe Ball on breakfast

Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay

12pm-2pm is currently blank, although this slot is usually given over to Tony Blackburn for 'Sounds Of Soul' so it's likely the case again. Scott is still listed for his slot which will probably change as he doesn't host on bank holiday, same with Sara Cox, who is still listed but through to 8pm, Blues Show is an hour earlier, and Trevor Nelson gains an extra hour for a carnival special.

    • Hey everyone, This is a bit of a long shot but I'm trying to track down four old episodes of the Rhod Gilbert Radio show that were co-hosted by Greg Davies. Two of these episodes are noteable for being recorded in Bangkok and Hong Kong while they were on tour. The episodes aired on BBC Radio Wales on 13/09/2008, 20/09/2008, 25/07/2009, and 08/01/2011. Below are links to each episode page on the BBC website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00dgjx4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00dlp04 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lvsts https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00x2x3v I've tried archive.org, myanonymouse, a UK media sharing Discord server, Myspleen, and various subreddits and forums with no success.  Any chance someone here ripped these back in the day? Thanks!
    • I am gutted about the podcast. It's how I have always listened to Scott so I hope one comes along soon. 
    • I think this is a great move & she’ll suit the style of show Scott is doing. Something I was a little concerned about with the suggestion Mark Goodier could provide cover.  I do wonder if Sara feels a bit put out by missing out on breakfast permanently? Maybe this is a sweetener by getting her back on cover duties. 
    • I watched this live in the cinema and there were definitely at least 2 mentions of Radio 1, including one which felt a little bit salty about the way he ended up leaving (I think in an answer to a question about a job). Hard to remember the details as it was last April - but I guess he could’ve asked for it to be removed as time has passed and this is a permanent edition! Agree about the Guinness joke, didn’t find it shocking at all 😂 but maybe I’m not easily offended
    • Richie Anderson is in for Rylan today.
    • I finally got around to watching the live tour recording online. Very funny watch. For those that were wondering, there was barely a mention of R1, so if anything was said it was either on other nights or edited out of this one. It’s two hours long, so not sure how that compares to the actual live show or how much could/would have been edited. Would definitely recommend it for fans of the podcast though. The guinness joke is included - and I personally don’t think it’s as shocking as they’ve been teasing. But that’s probably the point.
    • Here's an interesting one... Sara Cox is in for Scott covering breakfast on Monday 10th March. She was previously the main stand in for Chris Evans on the breakfast show prior to her taking over drivetime. In turn, OJ Borg is in for Sara on drive.. and Phil Williams is on overnight for OJ.
    • Sam & Danni are in for Vick, Katie & Jamie on Wednesday 5th March & Thursday 13th March.
    • 21st Feb 6pm-7pm: Danny Howard 7pm-9pm: Radio 1 Dance Awards 9pm-10pm: Sarah Story.
    • Calum Leslie is in for Lauren on Sunday 16th February. Jaguar is in for Sian on Sunday 9th March. CassKidd is in for Benji on Wednesday 12th March.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon tomorrow (Tuesday 11th February)
    • I’m not getting to listen as much now as my office has the “local” Bauer station on and no one will change it. I’m listening to Scott on R2 from 6.30-7am and then I’ll switch to Greg.  I’m still enjoying listening to Greg, although Scott being on R2 breakfast is proving to be a listening quandary. I don’t mind RMC, I do enjoy Charlie on Dance Anthems too. Matt and Millie/Jerry are really good Going Home… I think they need to get some direction with this. I’m usually listening on the way home and I’m just feeling it’s not working. It feels all over the place in my mind as one is usually off. With Katie going on maternity leave imminently, it will be interesting to see what happens next. Vick and Katie have always worked well together so I think they should maybe focus on those two, even if they are working one out of London and one out of Manchester.    Weekends - Nat and Vicky - I turn off on a Friday and actually put on Vernon. I do tune in for the Noughties show but I’m beginning to find it a bit tired. When it first started, they had the whole two hours and would sometimes pull a few gems out that had been forgotten, it really did feel like a treat to listen to. Now it just seems that they play the safest options that are usually showing up on anthems every other day or week. I think it would be good if they maybe did a deep dive and chose a year and maybe looked back at a Radio 1 playlist from that week of that year. There’s so much good music from the Noughties but it does feel like they overlook what was popular at the time and just play songs that have just remained popular. I get they are appealing to younger audiences and my age group is probably due to move to R2 but… it would be good to hear some forgotten gems of that time 
    • Having spent quite a bit of time driving last week, listening to Greg is always good.  The 10 minute takeover provides a good pick me up and his show on Monday was quite good.     RMC im neither here nor there for me  Charlie on Dance Anthems on her own is better. Matt/Mollie/Jerry is always a good listen Going home last week when it was just Vick & Katie for the 3/4 shows (I think) was a good listen.   The Wednesday show with Jamie was ok to listen to, I just don't think he added much.   Can't comment on weekends as I only listen to Dance Anthems on catch up 😂
