The big question: Should I tell my parents what I'm doing, or just say I'm going to meet uni friends up north for the day? The main reason I don't tell my parents what I'm up to is because they then ask far too many questions. Does anyone else have trouble explaining where they're going to family/friends? Meeting people off the internet is becoming more common but it's still got a bit of a bad reputation...

Yeah, I feel exactly the same, I don't know whether or not to tell my parents about it either - although I'm not really under any obligation to tell them as I'll be in Birmingham at the time. I'll probably just say that I'm going into town on that day to meet up with some uni friends, or my ex. I doubt I'll tell them what I'm actually doing until after I've done it, as they'll only ask questions and do the whole 'overly concerned parent' act until I get so fed up that I eventually decide not to go after all.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I told my mum yesterday.

Me: "I won't be around on November 28th- I'm going to Manchester"

Mum: "Who you going there with?"

Me: "Going to meet people from the Scott Mills fansite"

Mum: "How you getting there?"

Me: "Train or coach, not checked prices yet"

Mum: "Yeah coach will probably be cheaper"

Me: "Yeah I'll probably go on the coach"

That was it :P

When I first went to meet someone from the internet which was about 2 months ago I just told my parents that I was planning on going to Southampton to meet someone from the internet, they asked who it was (how I know them, age etc)

and that was pretty much it, they dropped me to the station and asked me to text when I got there and when I first met with the person and that was it pretty much :)

If you tell them that it's a meet up with people from all around the country doing the same for the first time I'm sure they will be fine.

after I came back alive the first time it was just a case or asking for a lift on xx day

I've met something like 7 people off the internet, plus I've met people through those people I met online. My parents know about some of these people I've met. It shouldn't be too difficult I suppose, I just don't like answering their questions. I'm 21, I go random places and meet random people a lot for work, and it's not like I'm staying away anywhere. Just gotta tell them I guess, meh. I guess the fact I haven't spent a weekend at home with them since.... er... about last December is making them a little bit paranoid that I've been avoiding them!

Yeah, I mentioned it to my mum this morning, but she seemed more interested in making coffee so didn't seem to be listening. I've told her about it, and I've written it on the calendar, but she'll probably still claim that I never mentioned it to her.

Oooh dear...I have three class tests, one radio package, one radio script and about two essays (there's probably more) in fairly soon. This means I may not be able to join you for all of the day depending on how much I've got through, but I will be there, even if it means I have to turn up at about three/four-ish. Deal?

    • 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
