I still wonder how James Purnell, BBC Director of Radio & Education, and Bob Shennan, BBC Director of Radio & Music, carve up their duties.

For yesterday's launch of network radio festive offerings, Bob got all the quotes in the press release; James got to host the hacks. A total of £566k pa of management heft.

Perhaps they've formed a common bond over football. Bob supports Liverpool FC; Jim's a Gooner - on and off the field.

Marked Dalglish once - decided to stop him w/ my most agricultural defending, injured myself, hobbled off, game over https://t.co/8dpxyB0I93
