Whenever the question has been: "This is incredible - who's got the nerve to play something like this at this time of day," The answer is ALWAYS Mary Anne Hobbs.
News:
My agenda has been to change Daytime radio at BBC 6 Music.
Creative life is progression.
Once the work is complete, stand at the edge of everything you know and ask a different question.
My Daytime show ends in February, I'll return to 6 Music in Spring with something new.
