JK & Joel

Recommended Posts

What do you think of Radio 1's Joel & JK? Hardly the new Lard and Mark, but they seem to be really good at the moment. Currently on R1 Take Away as Dom and Dick called it this morning! Do you think they'll be on Radio 1 for a long time?

Actually, im slowly being turned into a fan. Radio 1 seems to be fully backing them, and i think they work rather well. And hearing Joel the other day on his own (or was it JK?) it shows they dont need each other to work. Unlike Colin and Edith, i feel Colin does great with his own show, but Edith needs someone else there.

With Radio 1's full support, i dont see them going anywhere fast. I cant say i ever used to be a fan, but when theyve been doing Scott's show recently ive been giving them a listen, and im being turned.

Meh... I've never really liked them that much and probably never will do either. Don't really care what they do on Radio 1 as long as they don't take over either Moyles' or Mills' slots permanently (g'mornin).

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

i like them, they should of done the 1-3 (later changed to 1-4) slot in 2004.

but colin & edith started on radio 1 i think in 2003, and jk & joel came along just a little too late not long after mark & lard left, they probably passed each other on the door or somthing. i would like to hear them on the 1-4 slot, i have always said it. i remember i think in late 2005 when the bbc had strikes and they had to cover for c&e, and i realised how much they would of suited that time. if only they had of came a year earlier.

on the grid.

I love em!

I don't think there's any secret there ;)

I have listened to them ever since they started on early breakfast and I regret missing their weekend shows.

I have seen them live and they are so full of energy that it was one of the best nights out I had ever had.

I love the banter they have with Moyles in the mornings although there isn't a handover anymore and I really miss that, the Joel gold stuff were the funniest links that Moyles did all last year

Still not a fan. I do try hard, but nah its not there. I feel everything is really scripted.

As stupid as this sounds, I warm to a presenter who I think, if they make a bobobobo up of a jingle or a music bed, will go 'opps i boboboboed that up, better do it again' rather than ignore it and hope nobody noticed.

Do you get what I mean?

Hence why my favourite djs are people like Moyles, Mills and Coxy. I dont get the impression JK or Joel would do that.

Please tell me this makes sense.

Does it matter which is which? - they're a pair and I'd have them both to dinner - specially if I thought I'd get invited back and Scott might be there doing his laptop stomping and general mayhem.

I do realise they probably don't live in the same house or sleep in the same bed, and that Hear'say rarely visit if at all, however it's nice to imagine a sort of 2D TV version of their existence. :D

UM is a nice place

That made me laugh far too much. :lol:

    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
