Hanks, Robert (6 January 2004). "Chris Moyles, The Radio 1 Breakfast Show". The Independent. London. Archived from the original on 7 August 2009 . Retrieved 23 February 2010. Ah yes, but I didn’t want to write about a book about the pandemic we’ve all just lived through because I didn’t think people would want to read that,” he says. “I just wanted to write something effective.” The characters may have been few, but they were well written. All of them were flawed, carrying burdens of one form or another. These days, his tinnitus – the inspiration for his new novel and probably caused by loud music in his early career – makes social events harder. He takes a lead from his longtime broadcasting partner. “As Mark Kermode says,” he adds, “film critics don’t make any difference to the success or otherwise of a movie, and it’s the same with books. If a book critic in one of the big papers doesn’t like my book, it doesn’t make any difference. Word-of-mouth, book festivals – those are the kinds of things that matter.”

There was obviously a lot of research that has gone into the book on these topics and I thank Simon Mayo for the way he discusses them. Following the end of the BBC Radio 5 Live show Kermode and Mayo's Film Review, the pair started the podcast Kermode and Mayo's Take in May 2022. Like all Radio 1's high-profile presenters of the time, Mayo would take his turn to spend a week in a coastal area of the UK during the Radio 1 Roadshows which ran for three months of the summer. For a short while, he also presented an additional weekend show for the station on a Sunday afternoon, provisionally titled O Solomon Mayo, to cover for the absent Phillip Schofield, who was working in the West End.

Plunkett, John (15 September 2009). "Simon Mayo confirmed as Chris Evans's successor on BBC Radio 2". The Guardian. London. Archived from the original on 12 February 2014 . Retrieved 15 September 2009.He started his first breakfast show by playing " Somewhere in My Heart" by Aztec Camera, which was preceded by a montage of previous breakfast show hosts and then Mayo himself saying 'It's me, Simon Mayo, good morning.'

Mayo formally gave up the breakfast show in 1993, though he had been on an extended period of paternity leave when the announcement was made. His stand-in Mark Goodier was his replacement. Kit had no idea what this was about and no understanding of the anatomy of the ear either. But he did know he didn't like any of it." He says: “It was the biggest show in the country and what you played and didn’t play made a huge difference. It was an extraordinary privilege, it’s not really a proper job.” Then we rewind to four days earlier where a girl is described as an ‘irate fourteen year old girl” and two paragraphs later it’s her father who’s an ‘irate thirty nine year old man’. Give me a break! Moving onto the dialogue, which was awful and stilted, making it impossible for me to give a hoot about characters who talk nonsense. But their investigation throws up more questions than answers until they realise the mystery behind the illness is even bigger than they could have imagined...

Kermode and Mayo: ‘The BBC don't do plush – nor should they’

Books last, they endure,” he says. “I love going into a bookshop, or the supermarket while doing the weekly shop, and seeing copies of my novel. There’s something very gratifying about that. It feels solid, like an accomplishment. And I do like that.” And the station then signing Ken [Bruce] was like signing Lionel Messi; it was a statement to say that we are very, very ambitious, and that we have a very good format. We’re playing these fantastic songs for an audience of people who love radio, and who’ve grown up with radio. The last Rajar figures we had were great, and Ken hadn’t even joined then. So it feels as if we have a lot of momentum, and that’s a very nice feeling to have.” Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo, presenters and critics on Kermode & Mayo’s Take
