I seem to remember he was one on Radio 1 hence why he could show up for work during strikes. But is he still one ? If so does that mean he could technically do a podcast if desired ?

Yes he is.
No he couldn't do a podcast, unless it was a global based podcast.
I believe there's podcast exclusivity issues that forbid DJs from doing their own podcasts.

Shame if he can't, as I can picture a video podcast with him and others just chatting and having a laugh, a bit like the Anthony Cumbia Show, Artie Lange or Joe Rogan.

Actually, I bet he could if he really wanted to. Russell Brand has another podcast outside his Radio X one - although wildly different in content. Not sure why Chris needs to start a separate podcast though, he discusses pretty much everything on the show currently.

But Brand's other podcast was established before he signed his 6 month deal with X.

Plus I bet Brand's contract is very different to any other DJ's

As will Moyles's (4 weeks of consecutive holiday over summer anyone?).

A difference with is the Moyles Show an independent Production rather than a independent free lance - different situation - I guess TCMS at Radio X is a in house production with Chris funding the Exec Producer lol - Chris Evans Show on Radio One was an Independent Production - and more likely in the future to be more independent Productions on Radio One given BBC Radio is now part of the BBC Compete or Compare system

I always thought he was just a freelancer but wasn't there was that Popitch story a few months ago that said "Moyles gets a million-per-year production / presenting fee to do the Radio X breakfast show" which does confuse things a little. He is still the director of some companies, the latest of which Verona Creative was setup in December 2014 and had a big change financially between the 2015 and 2016 accounts.

mmm didn't know that but I guess Pippa was 'bought in' and has no other Radio X production responsibilities and in many ways an Independent Production of sorts ! - a miss mash lol

Yeah I'm not sure, I do think Pippa and definitely Matt (plus the new guy James) are all Global staff judging from what happens with holiday etc. i.e they keep going in even when Chris isn't on air but whether her salary is paid from a pot Global give Chris for the show, who knows?

All we can be concerned about is how this will affect contract negotiations considering the show/station hasn't exactly been a roaring success (RAJAR wise).
