He was a music reporter for Mark Goodier's Evening Session on BBC Radio 1, alongside Andrew Collins. Also on Radio 1, from 1995 to 1997, Maconie joined forces with Collins presenting a music review called Collins and Maconie's Hit Parade, which originally went out on Monday nights from 9 pm to 10 pm and then on Sunday afternoons from 3 pm to 4 pm. In addition to this, in October 1996, Maconie took over a weekly album show on Radio 1 on Sunday nights, until late 1997.That said, just because there is a group in society potentially being discriminated against does not necessarily mean the government should rush to make it illegal. Indeed, the Liberal Democrat chair of the group producing the report, Jo Swinson MP, concedes that, even though there is evidence that overweight people can be discriminated against and are less likely to be employed, she is ‘not convinced yet that bringing this into the Equalities Act is necessarily the best response’. What social life, Castiel? Please enlighten me as to when you’ve been doing all this socialising without me noticing.” Maconie, Stuart (1999). 3862 Days: The Official History of Blur. London: Virgin Books. ISBN 978-0-7535-0287-7. Novak’s tone was not so much offensive as indifferent. It wasn’t a reaction Dean was used to, and it needled at him to be dismissed so casually. Instead of turning on his heels like most people would, and with hindsight like he should have, Dean felt a perverse delight in slowly and deliberately sitting down next to Novak, just to find out what he would do. Jody looked pleased, or maybe just drunk, and she did a weird little shoulder dance of joy at Dean’s change of heart. “I have absolutely no idea,” she said. “But you know, I’m only suggesting you go talk to him, Dean. I’m not telling you to jump his bones right here and now. And anyway...”, she giggled looking impish, fine lines crinkling the corners of her eyes. “I think Pam would murder you if you did something as juicy as that without the cameras rolling.”

God help him, the money was tempting, too tempting. With only a little more prodding from Sam, Dean caved, and sold his soul for a place on a reality TV show. Andy came up with the slightly-too-personal-but-very-Andy-like, “I’m surprised you’re not too busy for something like this, big businessman like you.” Nerds,” Dean said under his breath, shaking his head as he took in the surroundings. The decadence of it made his skin itch. To someone who had spent a life time worrying over money, and how to make each new penny stretch twice as far as the last, it looked like a wasteful display. It was beautiful in its way, but they might as well have just cut to the chase and papered the walls in hundred dollar bills. It kind of pissed him off. Dean froze with his glass raised half-way to his lips. He didn’t care to hear Novak’s opinion. He should have made himself scarce when he’d first thought of it but the opportunity for escape was long gone.

He shrugged it off. “Nah, its fine. I’m a big boy I don’t need to blame anyone else for my bad decisions.” Maconie joined BBC Radio 2 in 1998, with shows such as All Singing, All Dancing, All Night, a northern soul music show, and, for several years, Stuart Maconie's Critical List on Saturday evenings. He also presents documentaries and deputised for Johnnie Walker on Radio 2's Drivetime programme. Yes, yes, I know, another northerner with a big fat chip on his shoulder, straight out of the deep fat fryer. It’s just a bit of fun. Can’t these people take a joke? Actually, we can. It would just be nice once or twice if the joke wasn’t on us. Thanks guys,” Dean said, and meant it; they really were only trying to help. “But don’t worry; I’m pretty sure I can promise you I’ll never speak to Novak again.” Novak did not react. There was no hint as to whether the compliment had hit home, or missed its target by a country-mile. Novak gave Dean a squinting look of appraisal and Dean felt pinned, exposed somehow.
