Gosh that sounds quite serious for Mollie. Glad she seems to be on the mend now and feels strong enough to be back on the radio today -
I listened to early shows of Jordan on capital and it was a lot more polished and professional if you will than it is now. Seems that now he's settled in he's been allowed to be more Jordan esq and have fun with the role. Still sounds great and fluid and they seem to be happy for the show to be a bit more chaotic these days -
Mollie king statement. She collapsed 2 weeks ago and been in hospital

To be fair, the trio of Jordan, Chris and Sian works really well I think. I don't listen live but I always catch the podcast and it is a really fun listen. I prefer what they are doing there to any of Jordan's R1 shows that I heard, but that may be because I have always been a big fan of Chris - he always had such a creative mind on R1 and I suppose now over there they have the budget to make some of the ideas a reality. Sian is great too, I have so much admiration for how she juggles her job with being a mum and making it look so effortless while at the same time being so honest about the reality of it. I hope they can carry on doing what they are doing for a long time to come. I don't think I ever caught much of the show before Roman left, but I imagine Jordan coming in has given it a more down-to-earth, slightly unpredictable, chaotic vibe where you get the polished finish of a commercial show but still get the edge of the wheels falling off every now and again. Which Chris and Sian are fully involved in too. -

They've talked about it a few times on the Capital Breakfast podcast, recently too. I had always assumed it was Scott's wedding, but timing wise I don't think that adds up, and it was mainly Sam's anniversary post this week that made me realise that. If their wedding was in June 2024, Jordan left Radio 1 in February 2024 so it must have been a different wedding. Maybe Vick and Calvin would suit the time better as that was in September 2023. On the podcast, they said it was a crazy wedding where nobody was allowed their phones or to post anything to social media. -

Love Jordan the show is great -
That quote about Man City is ridiculous. -
Going to assume that was Scott's wedding! -
Jordan North has spoken to The i about his move from Radio 1 to Capital, revealing that he was first approached about the role at a wedding. At the time, Capital Breakfast was hosted by Chris Stark, Sian Welby and Roman Kemp. North recalled: "Chris pulled me aside and told me Roman was leaving, and said, 'I think you should come over.'" He said: "When I was at the old place, we always had one eye on it." He then compared Capital to a football team on the rise: "It was like they were Man City, in that they were up and coming, then dominating things, and everyone was copying their style." And added: "I remember tuning in and thinking, 'These guys know what they're doing.'" Two years on, Jordan says he has "absolutely no regrets" about leaving the BBC and joining Capital, where he cites the "genuine friendship" between himself, Chris Stark and Sian Welby as a major reason for enjoying the show. He also addressed the BBC's recent controversies, admitting there was some relief in moving away from the spotlight surrounding the corporation: "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't." However, he was quick to defend his former employer: "I'll always defend the BBC to the hilt. I think we need a strong BBC for everyone." Jordan added that while the scrutiny could be intense, he understands the challenges facing the corporation: "Having been there, I know you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. But yeah, I'm glad to be out of that scrutiny." Elsewhere in the interview, he spoke about his friendship with Chris Stark and Sian Welby, his occasional struggles with a low "social battery", and his belief that radio needs more working-class voices on air. -

Is that the 'Tell your smartspeaker to play Radio 1' ones. They're not great, but certainly better than the ones they made 5 years ago! -
Noticed recently there is a little bit of a station identity being used at the tops of hours Sort of like capital use -
@Bluestraw I can't see him quitting weekday breakfast until either they say so or he retires, he's been on this slot far longer than any R1 slot he had - not long until Greg overtakes him as the longest host
