Much as I enjoy Richard's broadcasts I'm not into Scala so will give it a miss.

It has been announced that Richard Allinson will present a new regular show on Saturday afternoons on GHR between 1-5pm from 26th February 2022.

Richard back on the radio on Saturday afternoons after just over 16 years since his show on BBC Radio 2.

Just a shame it's GHR, which is all advertising.

Just heard Richard say tonight was the last but one Friday Club on Magic.

Any idea what is happening?

Switching to Scala Radio evenings.

What the **** is "Mindfulness Music"?

You do get the impression the chap is being put out to grass

I did listen to Scala for a brief time when Simon Mayo first showed up on there, but couldn't get into it.

I think I'm more into forgetfulness than mindfulness.

Oh god. Jimmy Osmond is on Boom with Tweedly Dee or whatever it's called. Shame on anyone who bought it!

If Putin is ever brought to justice, put him in a straight jacket and make him listen to it 24 hours a day, along with his Kremlin gorillas.

That's wishfulness.

I do like Scala, although the adverts get very annoying, and think Allinson fits in well.

Richard also has a Saturday afternoon spot on Greatest Hits radio.

Not sure I can get into Scala.

I do wish there were less adverts on these stations.
