Must admit to drifting away from 6music after they booted out Radcliffe & Maconie from their afternoon show To me it was the perfect afternoon show. Funny and knowledgeable. And great interaction/texts long running jokes with listeners etc. And they never took themselves or the music too seriously (an issue I have with the station in general……)Best thing I've heard for ages has ro be Iggy Pop talking to Tom Waites on radio 6 a couple of weeks back. Always been a massive fan of Iggy Confidential, but to hear these two old timers drawling away with their intensive and lived in knowledge of the history of rock n roll is archive material.
With all the bad news and mediocrity in the media I find that radio 6 is increasingly my go to channel these days, evidence that there are still interesting and creative things going on in the world.
