I wanted to ask, have A or J been involved in this site at all? - and how has all the material been sourced?
Hi Jon,
Judging by the speed at which the wonderful Live Journal people used to get the show up on a Saturday, I think they recorded it as it was broadcast. Sometimes they had it up before the iPlayer link became active. It is possible to download from the iPlayer although it is not welcomed by the BBC and to that end, Adam and Joe have not been involved in the site. One of the sub-pages in their area of the 6Music website does link to the main blog, though and they have both been supportive of Hobby's work here, in the past.
XFM days seem so long ago now! I guess some were recorded on the fly as it was broadcast as I don't believe there was much of a streaming service after the fact. That's why we have such big gaps. Gervais fans recorded his shows but rarely bothered when Adam and Joe filled in.
I would love to spend a day sniffing through the Buckles archive. I'll bet he has some lovely stuff he could slam in our empty slots.
