Feminist icon and pop provocateur Peaches takes over the 6 Music airwaves playing a selection of her favourite new discoveries, some familiar favourites and her musical influences. Plus she looks back on 2022 and reflects on finally playing the delayed 20th anniversary tour of her seminal album 'Teaches Of Peaches'.
Peaches has spent two decades pushing boundaries and wielding immeasurable influence over mainstream pop culture from outside of its confines, carving a bold, sexually progressive path in her own image that's opened the door for countless others to follow.
She's collaborated with everyone from Iggy Pop and Daft Punk to Kim Gordon and Major Lazer, had her music featured in cultural watermarks like Lost In Translation, The Handmaid's Tale, and Broad City, and seen her work studied at universities around the world.
Dubbed a "genuine heroine" by the New York Times, Peaches has released five critically acclaimed studio albums blending electronic music, hip-hop, and punk rock while tackling gender politics, sexual identity, ageism, and the patriarchy.

This Boxing Day, take a deep dive inside the musical mind of one of the most original artists alive today. Björk makes her 6 Music presenting debut with a meticulously curated selection of music to move you and make you move.
With 10 studio albums to her name so far – including this year's Fossora – Björk's creative process is informed by everything from nature and location to her vast musical influences, encompassing electronic, rap, punk, soul and classical.
In this landmark two-hour special, Björk digs into her exquisite record collection and shares the personal stories behind her far-reaching discoveries – from Sumatran folk to Brazilian Baile funk, and Icelandic choral music to Taarab sounds from Comoro.
Björk shares her most recent musical finds and long-term favourites, including the most-played track in her music library from the past 20 years. She takes us to the places that have been influential in curating her collection, including music box makers in Vermont, taxi journeys in Rio de Janeiro, and singing lessons with Danish-Icelandic soprano Engel Lund.
Björk also gives insights into how she made her own albums, and as a yuletide gift, she shares an exclusive uncut version of a track from her latest album Fossora featuring The Hamrahlid Choir of Iceland.
Spanning genres, environments and continents, this is a musical odyssey through the landscape of the solar system's most dynamic artist.

The tragi-comic tale of love gone sour and shattered dreams eloquently depicted in the Christmas classic Fairytale of New York is the focus of this edition of Soul Music. James Fearnley, pianist with The Pogues recounts how the song started off as a transatlantic love story between an Irish seafarer missing his girl at Christmas before becoming the bittersweet reminiscences of the Irish immigrant down on his luck in the Big Apple, attempting to win back the woman he wooed with promises of 'cars big as bars and rivers of gold'.
Gaelic footballer Alisha Jordan came to New York to play football aged 17 from County Meath in Ireland. Despite being dazzled by the glamour and pace of New York City, she missed her family and friends and stencilled the words 'Fairytale of New York' on her apartment wall as an affirmation of her determination to make the most of her new life in the city. When she was later attacked on the street by a stranger, the words came to signify her battle to recover and not to let the horrific facial injuries she suffered defeat her or her ambition to captain her football team. Rachel Burdett posted the video of the song onto her friend Michelle's social media page to let her know she was thinking of her and praying for her safe return when Michelle went missing suddenly one December.
Stories of redemption and of a recognition that Christmas is often not the fairytale we are sold, told through a seasonal favourite.
It's thought the most popular American poem of all time isn't a protest poem, or a love poem, but is best known as 'Twas The Night Before Christmas' and officially called 'A Visit from St Nicholas'.
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;'
Now poet and balladeer Luke Wright wants to write a updated version of this iconic Christmas poem, one that will captivate us like this one did so successfully. To this end, he is turning the 1823 poem inside out to try to understand why it has reigned supreme for so long (launching countless festive songs about reindeer and Santa costumes) but he also wants the new poem to speak to our moment.
Along the way, the bell-bright, rosy cheeked and holly strewn archive will help Luke understand the different myths that have informed our idea of a mysterious figure who brings us presents in midwinter. The Christmas poetry of John Betjeman, Raymond Briggs' 'Father Christmas' and the imagination of J.R.R. Tolkien offer writerly inspiration.
Including the voices of John Cooper Clarke, J.R.R Tolkien, Raymond Briggs, John Betjeman.

Sue Perkins explores how Doctor Who has reflected our social history on and off screen.
As Doctor Who celebrates its 60th anniversary, Sue Perkins explores how the programme has reflected our social history across the decades both on and off screen. From advances in technology to politics, violence, gender and sexuality.
Featuring archive footage, interviews and new conversations with showrunner Steven Moffat, script editor Andrew Cartmel, former companions including Anneke Wills, Katy Manning and Janet Fielding, and the voice of the Daleks Nicholas Briggs along with Dalek Operator Barnaby Edwards. Also, there's analysis from several academics who have published books on the subject.

EDWARD J MASON - DICK BARTON - SPECIAL AGENT (320kbs-m4a/321mb/2hrs19mins) BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 6th to 17th November 2023
Stars Noel Johnson, John Mann and Alex McCrindle.
Written by Edward J Mason.
From 1946 to 1951, Dick Barton - Special Agent thrilled millions of listeners to the BBC Light Programme. The daily serial followed the exciting adventures of ex-commando Captain Richard Barton and his wartime mates Snowey and Jock, who solve all manner of intriguing crimes and mysteries.
Heralded by an iconic signature tune - Devil's Galop by Charles Williams - each gripping episode left listeners with a torrid cliff-hanger.
Sadly many of Dick's adventures didn't survive in the BBC Archive. But in 1972, as part of celebrations for the BBC's Golden Jubilee, Dick's very first ten-part adventure by Edward J Mason was recreated, featuring many of the original performers.
Ex-commando Dick Barton uncovers an enemy plot to capture a British secret weapon.

Craig Charles presents the story of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, birthplace of Southern Soul.
Founded by Rick Hall in the late 1950s, the Fame (Florence Alabama Music Enterprises) studios began life above a local drug store before transferring operations to a former tobacco warehouse in the early 1960s.
Characterised by its seamless blend of R'n'B, Soul & Country the Fame studio sound developed by Rick Hall was dependant on a roster of studio musicians whose tasteful downhome stylings backed everyone from Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and Solomon Burke through to Bobbie Gentry, Lulu and the Osmonds.
The documentary will also explore the studio operation set up by David Hood, Jimmy Johnson, Roger Hawkinsand& Barry Beckett on their departure from the Fame set up in 1969. This studio, named Muscle Shoals Sound, became one of the venues of choice for some of the biggest artists in 70s rock and soul, including The Rolling Stones, Traffic, The Staple Singers and Rod Stewart.
Featuring newly sourced interviews from Fame founder Rick Hall alongside studio veterans Jesse Boyce, Mickey Buckins, David Hood and Jimmy Johnson, Way Down South will also include the recollections of artists Percy Sledge and Candi Staton.
