Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

[Opalmoon]

Hello I’m new posting here but regularly come on to listen to the archives. 
 

Anyone else still missing the Scott & Chris era? I loved them with Becky too, but there was just something magic about the two of them together—the sarcasm, the ridiculous games (especially The Who Game) and just how effortlessly funny they were.

 

I know they’re both happy doing their own thing now, but I can’t help feeling like there’s a massive gap in the podcast market for them two. Someone actually asked Chris on his Insta live the other day if he and Scott could work together again, and he said he’d love to and that it’s something they do want to do—which got me thinking… how would that even work with them both being on competing radio stations?

 

Not gonna lie, I might just be stuck in the mud, but I’d absolutely love a regular Scott & Chris podcast again. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I feel like it has to happen at some point! Would you listen if they brought it back?

@Opalmoon I couldn't agree with you more. Scott and Chris made genuine magic happen on the radio and I'm starting to think that nothing will ever equal that era.  I often listen back to the old podcasts, and I think you've hit the nail on the head when you say they were effortlessly funny together.  They could make the most simple of things laugh-out-loud funny, and it must have been because they were real friends who just used to make each other laugh, which in turn made brilliant radio.

 

They have both gone on to do such big things apart, probably more than if they had carried on together at Radio 1, and I'm really pleased for them both.  I don't think you're stuck in the mud (if you are then I am too) - a Scott and Chris podcast would be a dream come true. I'm not sure it could even be a thing while they are both working at different stations, but I hope they can make it work one day.  With Beccy producing, that would be the icing on the cake!

 

I would love for Scott to be a guest on Chris & Tom Kerridge's podcast, if nothing else.

 

Who knows, maybe one day Chris will find himself back at the BBC on 5Live and we'd have more chance of having them back working together then.

I still miss Chappers.

It would be nice for them to do projects together outside of radio. DC didn't you attend a Mark and Lard reunion event recently?
