Considering nothing else changed with the show yesterday - it’ll probably be Judge Jamie 😆

The more I think about this, the less I understand it. Vick and Katie would be a good Going Home show without Jamie. What did happen in the aftermath of Jordan leaving.  Did Katie initially

Vick isn't Jordans type. There's a reason he doesn't talk about those things.

Good to see some things never change about Going Home. Not even a week in and there's already an absence!

Did chuckle at Vick's 'bets back on' about how long Jamie would be back (to give context this was after Katie said 'put your bets away' about 7th March being the day somebody would be away on 'Going Home'). Said in jest but you could say many a true word said in jest. 

The last-minute addition of Katie, Jamie not having a contract and then being off within the first week does make it all seem a bit messy. If the plan was always that Jamie would be off today why not just do another week of Sam & Danni which at least gives more time to plan for the new show.

I never listened to going home with Jordan after the first two weeks, I thought Vick and Katie are a great combo and Jordan and Katie are a good combo but Vick and Jordan were a terrible combo as Jordan is such a wooden presenter when he’s paired with someone he fancies. It changed towards the end but I couldn’t stand the show. Jordan’s podcast is great and he’s more relaxed then. 
 

However, I have loved listening to Jamie and thought the show was far more enjoyable than it has ever been. I do think that Jamie is a spare and maybe in the long run he won’t work but he’s matured and actually got better at announcements.

I suspect they wanted Vick back to anchor the show next week when they are taking it on the road.

All of these seems very messy, and could’ve been avoided if there wasn’t pettiness from the bosses at Jordan choosing to leave…

Seems a lot more straight forward when there are just two voices. 

The 3 presenter format rarely works on any show on tv or radio. Look at awards shows or entertainment shows. It's very difficult to get all 3 equal airtime without it being messy. I can't think of a successful full time trio other than RMC.

From the listening I've done so far it seems Katie and Vick are against Jamie and he's there temporarily to try and attract a new audience. 

I also think Vick would have been looking to move on as she was going from Life hacks before Jordan went. She will obviously want to travel the world with Calvin and bosses won't agree to that much time off. 

It's a waiting game to see who leaves 1st Vick or Jamie.

Katie is in for the long haul now

Jordan didn’t fancy Vick haha. I actually disagree, they were great together

Listen to their first week of shows and tell me that he doesn’t fancy her. He’s super wooden, awkward and robotic. He was like that when they swapped Katie for Mollie on breakfast. He’s totally unlistenable. But as I’ve said I love his podcast, he’s so relaxed on that.

I don't think they know what to do with Jamie. Some links they are desperate to switch off the mics and play a song.

I have to agree, I haven’t been listening every day, but I was today and it was messy… like they were trying to let him speak and then almost immediately trying to cut him off because what he was saying was either inappropriate or just not good radio… I had a feeling it wouldn’t work as a trio. I’m not Vick’s biggest fan, but she and Katie have good chemistry on air and I feel like the current dynamic is getting in the way of any good broadcasting that could be happening

I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.

 

It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.

Yesterday when Katie was off was nearly unlistenable. Shows how vital she is in the show dynamic.

See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three.

Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie.

No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.

      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!

      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
