BBC Radio 6 Music’s autumn schedule features Kate Moss, Beth Ditto, and a new series dedicated to celebrating neurodivergent identity and creativity.
Kate Moss will present Music Uncovered, David Bowie: Changeling, an eight-part podcast exploring Bowie’s artistic evolution between 1970 and 1975.
Available on BBC Sounds from 6am on 10th September and broadcast on 6 Music from 22nd September, the series features rare archive interviews, including a 2001 conversation with podcast creator Des Shaw, and contributions from artists including Boy George, Elton John, Iggy Pop and Robbie Williams.
Episodes cover key moments from Bowie’s career, including The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and the creation of The Thin White Duke.
Beth Ditto joins Nick Grimshaw’s Breakfast Show every Tuesday from 16th September for What Would Beth Ditto Do?, giving her take on listeners’ dilemmas. She will also front Indie Forever Disco, a 20-part series for BBC Sounds launching in November, playing dance floor indie hits.
Grounding, a 12-part series running 15th September to 2nd October, will be hosted by AFRODEUTSCHE, Blindboyboatclub, Emma-Jean Thackray and Gary Numan, with each sharing their lived experiences and musical influences.
Themes will include creativity, identity, love, solitude and obsession, with contributions from The Donaldson Trust to ensure a neuro-affirming approach.
Samantha Moy, Head of BBC Radio 6 Music, said: “It’s a joy to welcome Kate Moss to celebrate an artist close to her heart and ours – David Bowie.
“I’m proud to be working with four incredible neurodivergent artists in our new series, Grounding. And then there’s Beth Ditto, who will be doing all of that and more with Nick Grimshaw and later with Indie Forever Disco.”
