BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 26th January 2026

Electroclash indie warrior Peaches shares her musical milestones with Matt Everitt, with the art-pop pioneer revealing the joy of meeting Iggy Pop, the song the Peaches moniker came from, and how she might owe everything to a Canadian sound engineer who might not know the role she played in Peaches' life! It's all soundtracked by Suicide, Kate Bush, Robert Flack, Jesus Christ Superstar, and more!

Produced in Salford by BBC Audio North for BBC Radio 6 Music.
