I am drifting over to Radio 4 Extra full time. There's always something nice on there.

Even my parents who are life long listeners in their 70s are moving away from radio 2 now. Its completely lost its way

Isn't it wierd Manford, Joel and Vernon all caught sexting/exposing themselves online.
That’s because a large proportion of all males indulge in this behaviour. It’s considered “normal” and almost expected these days. Ask any women on dating apps …..

I'm really unsure who will get the tea time slot. I really wanted OJ but he's hardly covered it so can't be lining him up. Joel probably best of a bad bunch but not a proper DJ or someone I'd feel the need to regularly listen to 🤷🏼‍♀️

I wanted it to be OJ but I actually love him in the graveyard slot, it’s a hard one to do well and I much prefer listening to that from the night before instead of Jo (or the proms this week)

Next week there isn't a DJ in their regular position until Jo Wiley. How can that even be allowed? You have to make an exception for Trevor, but usually a work place doesn't allow so many people off at once.

With that and the dragging out of drivetime it's getting like Radio 1 with all the influencers. I like Joel Dormett and Ellie Taylor is OK, but neither are DJs. If they cannot get Greg James they could surely have persuaded Zoe Ball to stick around to do drivetime as a permanent host, instead of going to commercial radio to do it.

Do we think Zoe’s move was purely financial? Or a falling out in the beeb? Seeing as she didn’t get the strictly gig
 
Jo will be out next I reckon, she doesn't even seem to care about music any more (she didn't know that Sam Fender track had been no.1 for a record breaking time the other week) and her show is so very lacklustre (when she's there)

Yes she will have taken her ball home pardon the pun, about missing out on Strictly, so ended up at the Radio 2 retirement home.

Update from Trevor Nelson on his instagram - good news he’s well and should be back on the radio soon.
