Guys, don’t be so harsh. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I personally like Chris Moyles, and I love the quizzes in the mornings too!

When I say “Pub”, you say “Quiz”. “Pub”– !! Gotta love Rob DJ!

I’m sure if the BBC had time to push out new content for their podcasts each week, they would, but that clearly isn’t possible. The thing is people like it, they’re download figures show that, I really don’t think it’s “tainted” the independent podcasting TWIT, Revision3, Even Mevio, all get considerable downloads each week and get their message to thousands, if not millions.

All I’m saying.

Yeah, it was hardly an attack on Moyles, and it’s totally inappropriate of you to start comparing salaries and use personal circumstances as an argument. “Jesus Chris”, however, is an admirable play on words – well done.

Thanks for the heads up. Eyes are closing and I forgot to proof read.

I did get rejected by McDonalds. 9 GCSEs (A – Cs), 4 AS Levels (A-D), 3 A Levels (B-D), a Bachelor of Sciences Undergraduate, 4 years of work experience and I couldn’t get a job at McDonalds. Got rejected at the age of 16 too. Technically I’ve been refused twice.

I’ve worked at a Racecourse, a Cinema, a Podcasting company, a Radio station, but never McDonalds. Such is life.

I think you’ll find that it’s actually Per se.
Perse refers to a greek mythological character.

Lewis, if you were to actually read my post you’d realise that I was not making a personal attack against Chris Moyles. Chris Moyles is a Radio DJ, not a podcaster. All I have said is that the “highlights” shows, that were rolled out by the BBC in the early days of podcasting, have somewhat tainted the whole independant media idea that Podcasting was born from.

Initially Podcasting was seen as an alternative to mainstream radio, NOT another platform for it to exploit. I’m not saying that these highlight shows are awful, per se, I’m arguing the fact that they have taken the atttention away from the small little independant gems (such as A Minor Technicality).

Chris Moyles is overpayed for what he actually does and my current employment status has no bearings on this post whatsoever.
