listening back through Riley and Coe shows on BBC Radio 6 Music again, while getting back into making garments on the sewing machine I listen through them three times plus now to keep me going - officially the best show on 6 Music these days 👌👏 (since the changes… 😬)

excellent spoken word themed episode of Stuart Maconie’s Freakzone on BBC Radio 6 Music last night - currently listening again on Sounds ✨🎧 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

My NYE wish is that Starmer and Nandy prioritise dealing with our media in 2025. We need newspapers run and owned by and for our country, we need the BBC to be run by independents not Tory doners and we need SLAPPs to be stopped.

bah humbug, was enjoying listening to live daytime 6 Music for the first time in AGES - now it’s back to the annoying duff-duff music….. #pleasemake6Music6Musicagain

can’t believe BBC Radio 6 Music are getting rid of Now Playing on a Sunday evening it’s always such a gem of expertly picked songs from loyal 6 Music listeners… one of the best eclectic and interactive shows… so baffling…!! and disappointing 😔 #nowplaying

the BBC news programmes are obsessed with Reform UK Ltd…and seem to find every excuse to give them a slot in the new headlines day after day… 🫤

used to enjoy the varied themes of Now Playing on a Sunday early evening on 6 Music chosen by listeners why axe that show? Finding the new one a v hard listen 😬🫤 gonna have to replay Iggy until the Freak Zone starts
