The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

Hello,

Having just listened to this week's podcast, I have to say I am a bit disappointed. This week was one of the best weeks I have ever heard Moyles and the team do - literaly every day has been wonderful from start to end, and this wasn't very well represented in the podcast in my humble opinion. I know it is great to have loads of celebrities on there being interviewed, but - at the risk of sounding like every boring person I have ever met in my life - quality is more important than quantity. The Noel Gallagher and Gordon Ramsey interviews were nice on the radio, but there's been so much that could have been put on the podcast instead.

Perhaps there could be some kind of unofficial poll on the blogs on a Thursday to see what peole listening would like to hear again? I don't know if it would really get much interest (as an aside, I'm expecting a page of replies from people telling me I'm wrong) but you never know. There's 27,000 people in the UK who have nothing on their agendas this week, perhaps they could be coerced into voting or something. It would also inspire more activity on the blog I imagine.

Also while I am here, I'm not sure if it has been a conscious descision on the behalf of R1 this week to play music which isn't being whored out on every radio station going, but to hear stuff which has not necessarily been released in the last week has been really nice. Please keep it up.

Thank you and goodnight.

Interesting first post....

What, from this week, would you have put on the podcast then?

I agree with you about the music lately.

Personally I would have enjoyed more of Dave's terrible maths, perhaps something with Aled and the Take That fans (this would be nice for people who don't listen regularly to show that they are capable of nice things sometimes), the adverts from Tuesday, Call of Duty VS children, Mr Bump, air con-gate...I could go on but I feel like I am listing everything that has happened in the last 7 days.

While I am spewing out loads of ideas, could the listeners have some say in who they would like to come on as guests? I realise there is the whole promo aspect to a lot of the guests, but perhaps they could have a list of 5 people who all have something to whore out in a certain week, and the listeners vote on who they would like to be on there?

The links they record especially are brilliant and creative week in week out.
Judging by this week's bill though, its very celebrity/guest-based. That seems to be the number 1 priority, rather than the usual random stuff I enjoy when listening live.

I agree that the links are very good. But my beef is with their definitions of what constitutes the best parts of the show. But hey ho. C'est la vie.

I guess the podcast is there for people who don't listen to the regular show. And so they put the bits that people would like to hear is the celebs. People can always hear the team do random stuff. You can't always hear them chatting to Ross Kemp or Jonathan Ross.
