Ask TOTDS Anything!


Recommended Posts

Also, very geeky - but I'd like the beds. Don't know why.

Yeah they would be good, as well as the one Scott used to use at the beginning of the show. Zane's brass-type one, he always uses about 20mins into his show, would also be awesome :D

A lot to ask haha

If you were a DJ and you could host one persons show which would it be and why?

I'd probably do the Chart Show because my counting backwards skills are really quite advanced. I'd challenge anyone in a counting backwards from 40 - 1 competition.

Otherwise I'd do one where nobody is listening...I'm not keen on being a DJ myself. And no, I won't be drawn into specifics about whose shows nobody is listening to!

Really? I nicked the feature recently for a quiz night I was doing and used 5 clips - they took me around 3-5 minutes each to find off the iPlayer, bleep out a suitable word and save! Had everyone laughing too, so I can't have done that bad! I know you have to spend slightly longer than that for broadcast, but even so. :)

The thing with BBTV is that it gets dull if you keep doing the same words. If it's just words beginning with F or SH every week I think it loses its fun. So it's a constant hunt for more original and imaginitive words and they need to be in a humorous context.

That's why it takes the time. Blimey - I'm actually intellectualising about making things sound a bit smutty!

I love you?

(Thats a question)

You just think you do

For ages actually. Gives Scott a chance to nip outside for a bit of fresh air. ;)

I get in at about 9:30am. Beccy soon afterwards. Scott turns up about 1:30pm. Chappers is generally here by 3:29pm.

I also imagine pressing all those buttons is beyond Scott ;)

Wow, I just thought Beccy got in at before 10 during Becky Cam to make it look as though she works. I commend you!

Fresh air? I wouldn't call it that!

Love that, Chappers in just in time to do the news! ;)

can you get someone else to get Chappers back for Becky please, i really want him to be got back at :D

I do have a cunning plan actually. :*

has barack obama been in touch yet? :D

and the fake scott on twitter has 24000 followers. has any team member thought of officially tweeting?

Strangely Bazza's not called yet. Only a matter of time though.

I think Scott is loving the fact that he's on Twitter but doesn't actually have to do anything! We really must get our tweeting arses in gear though.

Do you prefer to be called The One That Doesn't Speak or The One Who Doesn't Speak? :)

Thanks!

I really don't mind. I'm not sure which one is more gramatically correct. Although grammar off of proper speaking has bothered us before!

Ima sure he is, anything for an easy life! You should get twitter TOTDS, then you can 'speak' in the show!

Yes one step at a time. I'm thinking about joining some new site called Friends Reunited or something? I've heard it's the in thing. :oops:

Right, time for a cuppa and an old episode of Spooks.

Til tomorrow.

Yeah it was, about 10 years ago :giggle:

Night night!

Why don't we get a podcast when greg fills in for scott? I think we had one once but thats about it...

Also have you heard of the aussie drivetime duo Hamish and Andy? I've been listening to their podcasts for over a year now the show is hilarious as well, you should do a joint show when you go and do sydney-oke ;)

    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
    • He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot
    • Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later
    • I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
    • With the effects I'm half expecting a massive whoooooo soon
