I decided I'd already be doing a bit of politics on my course, and philosophy and the talk of God didn't excite me. So I went for American studies. It's about stuff like the culture, racism, sexism, etc. Seemed to like the idea :)

Is the wrong answer!

I think I might just be a little bit in love with politics as a subject. I'm quite scared about lesson tomorrow though, there's likely to be major arguments about Obama/McCain.

American studies sounds quite cool though.

Verne's opened the flood gates now he's mentioned he wants to see boobs. I think he was perhaps hoping Beccy might do something similar after Scott invited her into the studio after that chat...

I would imagine it's more likely we'll talk more Obama in American Studies than Politics. I'm already doing two compulsary politics related modules. It's annoying though, I've only just got settled in my classes and now we're moving around after Christmas.

Moving as in campuses?

Nah, it'll be different people in different classes from all over the shop.

Can only be another five minutes till the compulsary Killers track. Sound the siren!

I like how Scott laughs at Ahmed being hit by plates despite almost being hit by a firework and getting egged.

I'm going to see Chris Cox off of Nihal's show on Thursday. Hopefully he'll live up to the hype he's been putting about on Facebook the last year or so!

Jimmy Carr's on the Paul O'Grady show, perhaps someone can go ask him.

The James Morrison cover made Mike cry on here apparently. Must have been good... I think.

My mum is asking me if something she wanted to see will be on "You Too" heh.

It amazes me how well Terry Wogan's fansite does - www.togs.org - they seem to get Terry to do CDs for Chilren In Need and he does videos for them and all sorts. It's not even a good looking site but their forums seem really busy for 1,000 members.

Ah public service announcements... I'd love to be told how to hold a sparkler on fireworks night by celebrities. They don't do that enough any more.

Amy Winehouse telling us not to drink perhaps? Or Scott Mills with his £586,000 advising us on the credit crunch? ;)

I left my room at eight this morning...and have only just got in now. Small tip: don't take radio journalism.

What's wrong dearest?

Snow Patrol's album is supposed to be pretty good but I've not really managed to find a depressing moment to listen yet.

I had to edit an interview I conducted so it was three minutes long. I was editing it for almost three hours, grr. All I cut out was four minutes!

Ooh tune, I like this Gorillaz one :)

Alouette...deployer les ailes;

Alouette...plumerai les ailes.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
