I’m curious to learn of what you say those risks were. Phil Taggart is a talented music broadcaster did good with the chillest show as did when covering for Annie or Huw. I found though I liked him still doing the 7pm-9pm slot will always found the show was better when it was starting from 10pm as listeners are winding down and getting to sleep. That said think maybe with the Relax stream feed maybe the type of show it has maybe has been diluted? Not certain.

I can't put it into words but I know what @Jono means.

 

The Chillest Show was a show I really enjoyed with Phil and I'd actually switch it off now if I'd had Vick and Katie on before.

I get that sometimes its that feeling its hard to find words for guess it had a bit more of an edge and felt bit more fresh.

I think that's exactly it.

It feels disposable now whereas with Phil it felt a bit more appointment to listen.

I love Charlie Hedges as a person and generally but I could say exactly the same about Dance Anthems post Mistajam.

The problem with both those shows these days is that there is so much content of both these days. There are Radio 1 Dance and Relax streams, plus the programmes air every day on the station itself in relatively primetime slots, so the flagship shows for both genres simply don’t feel as special anymore.

I found with Relax stream theres too much but not enough as its just a constant spin and that curation can be good but I think its one thing maybe lost with BBC Sounds and streaming platform is only five years ago I’d listen to Phil Taggart live or catch-up in sixth form. Think there’s that challenge of keeping something edge and working for so long. I preferred the station much more before the streams but find myself even with stuff that I might would listen to, listening to less. I think music platforms getting more personal and crafted with recommendations takes the edge with it and of course things develop and evolve.

But, found BBC Sounds a good platform but I think even at the age of 22 I’m now bit nostalgic for the station and how you’d quite listen to things once before.

I know, was just teasing!

Mine is that it's time to move Clara on. She isn't a match for her predecessors on that show.

I don't exactly agree but I've seen that view before understanding where you're coming from. I'm also curious where do you think she should go and who should replace her? Still on R1 but on weekends or daytime? Heart, Kiss, Hits, Capital or any other commercial? R2?  Jack seems the one most people suggest to replace her given the comparisons that have been made to Zane but he also very easily could get a daytime show in the future
