@luv4leya Hey! Yeah sure - so we’d just look to do a 5 min prerecorded interview over FaceTime or Zoom. You’ll have seen the reaction has been mixed so we’re just keen to hear a variety of views. It will then be used in our programme which goes out at 12:45

[Riyah Collins @riyahcollinsbbc]

@judeblay Fair enough! Enjoy your day!

[Riyah Collins @riyahcollinsbbc]

@naestalgia Sure! We'd like to do a short pre-recorded interview this morning over Zoom/ FaceTime to hear reax to the lineup as it's been a bit mixed. Should only need 5-10 mins and will then be used on R1/ R1Xtra this afternoon
