Advantages: Chris Moyles himself

Disadvantages: The sidekicks aren't particularly funny on their own

Living in an area that still doesn't have digital radio, i'm quite confined to the stations i can hear. Therefore i tend to listen to Radio 1 quite a lot, but wouldn't say i was a huge fan. Traveling to work in the mornings i listen to the chris Moyles Show which is on between 6.30 a.m and 10 a.m from monday to friday.

The show is very much an entertainment vehicle, relying on the forceful personality of Chris Moyles to carry the show. Moyles doesn't try to hide the fact that sometimes the songs he has to play gets in the the way of his show! Moyles is obviously a very talented entertainer, he's naturally funny and is very good at impersonating. Some people find his abrasive and sometimes boastful nature unappealing, but i think if you take it as it is, is good fun.

The show does have a quite loose feel to it, and its up to producer Rachel to try and keep the show on track with regards to timing, songs and going for the news. There are basically four other sidekicks, Comedy Dave, Dom and Carrie who do the news and Aled who makes apperances after 9. They certainly add to the show, acting as good foil for Moyles.

Its the type of show i listen to when in the car, but certainly wouldn't go out of my way to listen or download the show's weekly podcasts. Chris Moyles took over the crucial breakfast slot, and has made it his own on Radio 1, and i hope he's round for a while yet.

Summary: If you're close to a radio in the morning, put it on.
