I think the problem with the show is that Chris just doesn't have enough to talk about. On Radio 1 he had the whole of the BBC, and Radio 1 was a much "busier" station than Radio X, when all you have to go on is the sodding Road Trip week in week out. Plus it's a much smaller team than before which means less material to talk about. So you get the situation where a couple of weeks in and he's already going on about Heart, LBC, Smooth etc, as if he's run out of Radio X material. Then on Facebook and Twitter you have all the old fans chanting "bring back Roy Walker/Andi Peters/Dominic the Donkey" as if repetition is the only thing of merit.
He's just about pulling it off at the moment as he has a way of making you care about a link even when it's inconsequential, but I wish he'd just have a bit of self-control and do a 5 minute link instead of 10 mins when there's no material...the world wouldn't end, no-one would die.
Oh and after hardly playing any U2 at all for the first month they're suddenly playing them all the time now Bono's coming in as a guest...awkward.
