    Just at the end of the song, there was a little gap and he said " There's a cute little girl now, wait for it". Then she said a little thing and Paul says "there ya go" and plays the jingle and starts his link. Its the little things......

    Indeed. I believe his personality and use of imaging and intro's and outro's are secret to success!

    They have to be joking. Becki is off for the rest of the week from TRL. Am I missing something here?

    Don't get too excited. It's Riyadh. When she said last night that she was going to be off for the rest of the week, I was literally staring at the radio willing her to say Paul's name. :(

    :( Disapointment.

    On another note Steve K was live from DIT today (I think) and I mean to say the audio quality was brilliant. He sounded like was literally in the studio doing the show crystal clear no tin can or echo stuff either.

    The work of Technical Paul don't you know!

    It was 1038. Lauren did what they called "The Other Story" and did the news and weather with made-up stories. It was absolutely hilarious, I'm sure it'll be on the podcast. Brian: "Here's SPIN's 5 Word Weather that always seems to be more than 5 words...."
    Lauren : "Windier than your grandad's crack". It mightn't sound funny on here but listen to it on the podcast at the end of the week. The whole thing was so funny. :)

    Yeah. I remember seeing him at UCD doing a broadcast from an open day and I felt like going over and asking him for a lesson in presenting! I caught a bit of the DIT broadcast and I did notice how brilliant the sound was.

    It's Dara's turn to have a week off so Brian and Lauren are doing The Zoo Crew on SPIN 1038 this week.



    I've gotta say that Lauren and Brian are so good together. Last night was one of my favourite Zoo Crew shows ever. It was absolutely hilarious, The Other Story was so funny and there was brilliant banter between the two of them throughout. Dara and Brian seem to have different personalities and I think the show would work so much better with Brian and Lauren IMO. As I've said, it's a shame Lauren was on a hiatus when Claire Beck left because she would have been the perfect replacement and then Dara could have kept The Lock In and Becki could have done mid-mornings. Oh what a shame........

    The Other Story with Lauren is next on The Zoo Crew on 1038. Make sure you listen NOW, its gonna be brilliant!!!

    It really is.

    Yeah you just missed it :( That was the first song after it. It's on at 7:45. Don't miss it tomorrow night! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 298 ✭✭Cookie Policy


    Must tune in tomorrow night too missed it again! SPIN 1038, Capital and Q Music are three of my favourite studios!

    Right, don't miss it tonight. "The Other Story" is on at 7:45 on SPIN 1038. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 298 ✭✭Cookie Policy


    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO missed it :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 612 ✭✭✭smurfs5


    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO missed it :(

    Set a reminder/alarm on your phone- 7:45 tomorrow.

    In summary, Lauren was reading a story about how a lot of men have unsatisfactory sex lives and they said that two ways to improve it were hunting and chopping wood :D
    Also for the donut, Brian just said "words, words, words, no ones listening to me, words" :)
    The Zoo Crew's 5 Word Weather was "Not as windy as Taylor Swift"
    Then, "This is the home of some stunners- Steve K, some not very good looking people- Dara, and some absolute mingers- Fully Charged" :D

    LOVE the ongoing digs at Fully Charged :)

    This is one of the best features the Zoo Crew has ever done IMO. Brian and Lauren are SO funny and brilliant together.

    Remember the last time Brian and Dara started a slagging war with Fully Charged? Tracy went to management. :rolleyes:

    Ha really?! How did we find that out? What did they say that was so offensive?

    Basically they rang Tracy's dad on air not sure if it was live, they boss man rang them and left a voicemail for Dara saying they'd stepped over the mark and they needed to have a meeting about it.

    Then following night they apologised to Tracy on air and the following week her and Brian presented the show together. It was great radio for the few days it was going lots of Fully Charged liners were replaced with them taking the mick!

    Let me reword the above - What is her experience? Where did she come from!? Never heard of her in my life :o

    It's actually showing Brian to be a weaker presenter than I thought. They don't sound very good together imo.
