Looks like it’s James Cusack and Nat O’Leary today. I hope Dean is ok - seems to have been completely AWOL since that Instagram post went up on Friday

What insta post?

The Mega Massive Monday one posted on Friday that Dean got LOTS of stick underneath unnecessarily

You don't need to be a fan of somebody to hold yourself back from venomous comments.  Whatever people think of Jordan leaving, it isn't Dean's fault.

Exactly. The guy was really thrown into it when Scott left, but there wasn't a backlash like that. I think everyone's just frustrated with the situation that Radio 1 found itself in, and it didn't help itself with the press release and tweets. I don't feel that was aimed at Dean, he just got caught up in it. 

Come back soon Dean!

Yes absolutely. The Jordan leaving situation has absolutely nothing to do with Dean. I think he’s handled taking over from Scott brilliantly to be honest - the hardest slot to replace in my opinion. I’ve really started to enjoy him more on the breakfast show recently too. Just horrible people trying to find somewhere to direct their anger, and he’s caught in the crossfire!

Hope he comes back soon!

I’ve hardly listened to Dean since he got Scott and Chris’ slot. I was quite impressed when he covered breakfast last week - especially when he played the Wronguns clip back from 2021. He was just so new on the station then, doing Friday Earlies - I wasn’t too struck on him then and he sounded quite brash. But I saw a huge difference on Friday morning and he was really good to listen to. Hope he’s okay.

Yeah I don’t mind Dean at all on his own, I think his Breakfast cover has been pretty listenable when he’s done it and I think he could have done a pretty good content heavy afternoon show on his own.

Unfortunately the Dean and Vicky pairing just isn’t working (and I do like Vicky too, I think she sounds good on her own as well) and the production on that show is very weak which just ends up with a very poor afternoon show currently.

Don't know what's been said on his socials but if it's bad enough to make him come off air (if that's the truth). Then nothing can justify that. I know you put yourself in the limelight being on Radio 1, and to a degree have to have thick skin. But some of the things that get said are way way overboard. I know it's the 30 odd year old bloke, old man thing to say. But in a lot of ways things were better years ago. Social media has many great points, but also comes with too many negatives.

I've seen even the older generation use it against Scott when he moved to Radio 2 as I've said before. Bottom line is these are people going to work and doing a job, if they aren't for you switch off and find something else.

on the grid.

I agree completely! Some of the comments on the Instagram posts are very OTT and unnecessary.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
