Radio 2 in the Park 2024

[Kelly]

If I were you, I'd go out tomorrow and buy yourself some clean bedsheets. Doesn't matter how cheap they are, as long as they're clean.

So, can we expect to hear you on air any time soon?

[DC]

jono's in london?

[Jono]

Yeah I must have forgotten to mention it in Your Views, DC.

Bar the terrible experience of a hotel, and sleeping with a towel as a bed cover, and watching some dreaful Terry Christian show until 5am when I feel asleep, I'm feeling chirpy and I'm at Radio 1.

Exciting. The online department is so quiet!

[Bexy]

I'm excited that you're at Radio 1! I'm such a geek! :oops: What have you been doing so far? Can we have a Jono's Diary special for the week please?!

[Jono]

I know too much, I couldn't possibly tell you everything!

[Bexy]

"If I told you, I'd have to kill you..." styley?! You'd have to find me first!

Tell us what you can then!

[DC]

i guess radio 1 are like offices, people just working away keeping things running. then i guess it's great if you are interested in radio, probably like myself. i dont think they like me though, they never have read out a text of mine over the air even after around 8 years of regular listening.

mind you scott was kind enough to read out one of my posts on here so that was all mega fun.

[DC]

and jono give me some insight on how early they get their music, do they actually have music in real early but wait for galaxy to trial it before they do play it?

[Jono]

There's several offices here... er, there's the weekend department (which is empty), the daytime department for the djs like Scott and his show, the specialist department, and the online department. Plus the 1Xtra department, Newsbeat department and managers department. Probably more.

The studios are pretty hot without air con! They've got the new webcams running, which can stream video which will be cool if there's guests in.

Erm... what else can I say? There's a lot of six weeks of summer stuff going on, can't say much about that, but hopefully going to be sitting in on Scott's show, and maybe the Live Lounge at the end of the week for online purposes.

Can't say I've seen much music action. The DJs have a lot of CDs on their desks, and I think that all takes place in weekly meetings.

I agree with Bexy! Go on Jono, spill the beans, Jono's diary, you might even get a book deal!

Are you enjoying yourself at least?

If being on this site isn't in your job description, I seriously hope you are on here in your lunch hour!

:(Sad Nadal lost yesterday, but at least I enjoyed watching him do so!

[Jono]

Just been watching how the Rate My Listener and podcasts are updated.

[Grace]

Sounds pretty interesting, how does the restraining order affect things?

[Jono]

It's like being at home, getting to surf the net and monitor Unofficial Mills, but without my mum moaning. Although I've only had a sandwich and a packet of crisps since yesterday lunch, might want to eat something later.

[DC]

how did you get on here in the hotel oh great one!!1?

[Mike]

Probably on his phone, DC Lord of Audio.

[Jono]

I was scared by the amount of radio stations London has. Most aren't actually supposed to be on air I don't think, but still, I was like 'ooh XFM'.

there's a couple of good documentaries about pirate radio in london still on around the internet. on every block of flats there is probably an antenna for a pirate radio station, at least one. i remember watching one bbc doc about them and to get the cable from the roof to the 'studio' someone was abseiling down the side of the flats. it all gets very violent between the stations as well.

get this, my station is legal of course. we got our liscence and started to test broadcast on fm. then we got threatened by our local friendly pirates becuase we were using their airspace apparently.

[Ema]

Have you seen Scott yet Jono? or Chappers?

[Jono]

No I'm in a little cosy office upstairs, did visit Jo Whiley's studio though.

[KingTutsWWH]

God I have so much delay and cut offs on this stupid wifi connection, maybe I should make my comments on Scotts show before it's started!

[Grace]

Hi everyone! I can't wait till Scott's show, for the first time in ages I've got no coursework to do, and I think I've settled on which college I want to get into. (Early, I know.)

[Jono]

Hello boys and girls. I'm not doing a lot, so I shall do some Your Views actions.

[Kelly]

I'm here, finally. Bloody computer.

I forgot to ask; Jono, how long are you at Radio One for?

[Ema]

Im here, been into town and had to pop into work to see my boss, got a couple of cd's from HMV, it was packed in there today..
