It's not like Scott and Chris didn't give many months notice they were leaving either! Just putting Dean and Vicky together for a 5 minute test would have made it plainly obvious they disliked each other and weren't skilled enough for such a prime slot!

I think Aled Haydn Jones’ tenure at the top of R1 has been an absolute disaster so this doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

It's absolutely atrocious now, and it's nothing to do with the playlist, the presenters are 99% absolutely terrible

it’s shockingly bad - i love greg (the fact they’re extending his show over the summer speaks volumes) and i like matt and molly but god the rest are so bad. at this point i am developing a personal vendetta against those sam and danny children who seem to be on every time i get in my car 🤣

dean has such an inflated ego that i always felt like he hated having a co-host and so he and vicky were just really awkward to listen to. he could be so pass-agg with her. i bet she’s just glad it’s over!

I'm totally with you, I can only listen to Greg and Matt and Molly now too. Sam and Danny covering for Greg was so bleeping dire, I was so pissed off he was still at Glasto when I got up this morning!
 
I rarely listen to drive time anymore, but caught it today and Jamie is still terrible. Spending the best part of an hour talking about some rich-o party he held. Threes most definitely a crowd and he's making me like Vick and Katy less by association 🥴

I always felt Dean treated Vicky like crap. Like he was in charge and she was a lesser presenter. I'm sure she'll take great comfort in the fact that when she's tucked up in bed at 3am, Dean will be up and getting ready for the graveyard shift 🤣
 
One of the discussion topics on Jeremy Vine's R2 show today was how people were planning to spend Election Night, complete with an expert guest (a vocal coach) giving tips on how to calm yourself down if the excitement of election fever all gets a bit too much. 😂

I know Election Night is like Christmas Eve for him but come on....that is barrel-scraping filler content. Surely it's not just me that hasn't planned a special Election Night party buffet. Is anyone else planning special naps/sleep schedules to ensure that they can stay awake all night, to see the results come in? According to the aforementioned "expert", the trick to staying up late is drinking coffee. Who knew? 🙄

I know. It's so wierd. I've read of a few people planning election night late nights and what snacks they'll have. It really does seem people are desperate for communal 'events' like the coronation, Eurovision, football. And now a bloody election. So they can no doubt tweet along.

I'll maybe wake up early (4 or 5am) to watch tv or put the radio on but there's no way I'm staying up all night eating Doritos, the interesting results don't come in until much later usually.
Our dog will get me up early anyway 😬
 
Not sure if anyone here listens to the 10pm shows on their local BBC station, these have been broadcast nationally since September last year when launched as Late Night Becky (Sundays to Thursdays) and Late Night Jo (Fridays and Saturdays).

When first launched Becky and Jo had a lunch to meet and all was jolly, they used to mention each other's show but things seem to have changed. Jo Good now makes a point of giving out the studio phone number, claiming it's "MY number, the Late Night JO number, my number". Actually it's also used by the late show on other nights. Is Jo Good flexing that her show is still called Late Night Jo whereas on other nights it's now just called The Late Show, no longer Late Night Becky? Very mean-girl if that's the case. Perhaps Becky is annoyed by Jo's ludicrous boasts of having 5 million listeners.

On last night's show a caller thought Jo was Becky - Jo acted like she didn't know who he was taking about- "who's Betty?" she disingenuously asked.

they need to come up with a word for the special kind of rage mixed with disappointment that i feel when i get in my car to drive to work and sam and danni are covering for greg 😭😭

I have a radio alarm so that disappointment rage was literally the first thought I had as I woke up this morning! They are absolutely dire, I can't cope with it

nooooo not first thing in the morning!

if i took a shot every time one of them said something idiotic i don’t think i would make it to work. they played a tiktok today from a guy with a very strong american south accent (guessing alabama or somewhere) and danni said “he sounds almost like one of those south american accents”. yes danni, that’s because he HAS ONE.

how do they get on the radio?! do they break in and no one has the heart to tell them to stop?!
