Meh.

I sometimes listen to the show at my desk, but I don't like the guy currently on before Adam and Joe (on the rare occasions I have to be up early on a Saturday morning) so I'm happy.

The slot may suit him better.

I think they will work well together.

Love Nick, loved this Edinburgh show - listen now!

Nick Mohammed: Apollo 21

I think I'm listening to Luke on the radio.

I can't be sure, though, as he sounds just like Shack!

(All you English sound the same to me )

Hahah Yorkshire really has changed Our Luke. Do I hear a 'by gum'?

You probably have no idea how funny this is, Julie. Trust me. Funny.

This is a good way to spend your day

All duly bookmarked.

Having only just seen this I can confirm we're different peas in a similar pod.

One day we'll remake "The Odd Couple" only our differences won't be so apparent.

Does anyone know how certain it is that 6Music is on the way out? I'd be gutted personally as, outside of the car, it's the only radio station I ever bother listening to!

We should know today.

I'm surprised at how much this worries me actually. I should ask for my money back on my digital radio from the BBC as it was the sole reason I bought one.

The BBC website says it's defintely going.

Shame.

Bugger. Guy Garvey's Finest Hour makes my Mondays worth working through.

I hadn't thought of that, but pretty much me too.

That's not definite

I was literally about to fork out £45 on a very nice DAB radio, with alarm clock, for the sole reason of being woken by the lovely sound of 6Music without having to get out of bed and switch the telly on when the news of its probable demise came out. Pointless getting one now. It's pretty much the only music radio station I regularly listen to. It's going to leave a massive hole in my routine - if you can call it that - when it goes.

I'll miss this too, if it goes.

This decision is not final

Consider my views submitted. It says that if it does go then it won't be until at least the end of 2011 which gives us plenty of time to try and stop it, but also gives all the decent talent plenty of time to go elsewhere...

Thanks for that, I'll do that in a wee while. Might nor work but it's worth a try if enough people go for it.




Indeed. It's still a shame if the axe does fall on it though, even if i've listened to it slightly less in recent months(And we don't have Adam and Joe there anymore, which means less are tuning into that slot). Spotify has kinda taken over for me.

Me too, oh well.

Great, I write quite a bit on the 6 music question and it won't let me onto the next page.

Gonna email what I wrote to my home address and hopefully it won't happen on my laptop.

I think that's starting to happen already, Adam and Joe have gone, they were my initial reason for listening to 6music at the weekend, now Jon Richardson's going too I doubt I'll listen at all. I'd like to impale George Lamb on something.

I'll miss Lauren Laverne most I think. What will we listen to in the office now?

Are there any other good alternative digital stations? I'd not really investigated until we realised you could listen to digital radio through an iphone.

XFM is alright but it is more commercial indie playlist stuff, although I haven't listened to it in a long time. I can see a lot of 6music's presenters going there in the future, considering that a lot of them came from there in the first place.

I tried that questionnaire but it seems to have crashed for the moment.

In the meantime, you can send e-mails direct to this address:

Power to the people

According to what I have heard, it's merely a suggestion at the moment and nothing has been officially decided.

Surely belt tightening across all facets of the BBC would work better than axing certain parts entirely?

I do love 6Music but have taken it for granted recently and not listened as much as I should have. Like a lot of others, it was one of the reasons I got a DAB radio, so if the decision is taken to lose it, I will be very sad.

Hopefully people like us will step in.

The Thickness of it

Adam is back, sans Joe (for now)

Half a hooray!

The Evening Session is back! (sort of) 6 Music on Good Friday.

In case it hasn't actually been mentioned (I'm sure it probably has), Tom Ravenscroft really really really sounds like his dad. It's nice.

Buxton goes Bowie for the Save 6Music charge...

Adam and Liza...

Me likes Liza Tarbuck,
She and Kevin Eldon were co-hosting today's Steve Wright show on Radio 2.

Great stuff. I shall retune my alarm clock this instant.

Caught this on the drive down to Chester en famille today, listened whilst knitting, very enjoyable and available for the next week:The League of Gentlemen's Ghost Chase

Edgar Wright's Halloween Show.
Sunday 31st October, 20:00 on BBC 6 Music.

I cannot recommend This American Life enough. It's now my favourite thing ever, and not just on the radio. I've been listening to the podcasts for a few weeks; but realising they have an archive going back to 1995 is like when the Count of Monte Cristo found all that treasure - BUT BETTER

http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives

Flick through a few years, click on a title that intrigues, and be amazed.

If you have any interest in documentary or storytelling, it's some of the best examples of both I've ever heard.

Everything Zoe has said about TAL is true. It's one of my favorite things in the world.

I shall be checking this out tonight.

Thanks Zozzle-pops - I will add it to my podcasts list on my iPod and get listening!

Eclectic Circus - Acid House for Grown-Ups. Check out their other stuff on Soundcloud.

The possibility of a Bob Fischer and Shack BBC podcast has reared it's head again, but this time self produced. Exciting...

This should happen. I hope the self-produced bit isn't a heavy lift, but a podcast would be good.

It's basically me editing it down and cutting out the music and the bits that don't make sense.

Down to 35 minutes, the length of a decent sized commute.

Let's see what the boss thinks.

Hope it happens, I'd love to be able to listen to your show again! It's been impossible with most of my jobs recently.

Adam and Joe back on 6Music on Christmas Day

Nice!


By the way Shack, nice one on the podcast, hope it all goes well!
