Some bikepackers asked for a middle-aged shout out on BBC Radio 6, anyone from here?

Bit young for the demographic on here

[Moder-dye]

Yeh, was going to say I don't think I've ever listened to radio 6

Oi!

I'm listening as I write! Was it the guy meeting his friend now they can cross the English-Welsh border? I heard cycling mentioned, but not bikepacking.

There was definitely mention of visiting pubs so I thought it sounded like a typical 'boner!

Radio 6?! The clue is in the segment "middle aged"

[ScotRoutes]

It goes all the way up to 6?

[lune ranger]

I’m more likely to be on Thought For the Day

[Rapideye]

Yes, I heard that and craned in to listen...the presenter was, like, dont know what bikepacking is? I listen the 6 music all day and have heard him talk about commuting into London. He'll be along soon enough.

i never managed to get past radio 2.

[Dave Barter]

Radio 6 utterly rules

Driving down the M5 last night Mark Reilly played “Late for the train” by Buzzcocks

I never ever imagined I’d hear that tune on the radio

[boxelder]

Is there any other music radio??
It was John, from Stoke, going bike packing with the boys. Came just after Bow Wow Wow's 'I want Candy' (at 1:53 here- https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000v9nk)

Tenuous link to this place - I've always assumed BearbonesNorm was a reference to 'Cheers', the theme tune from which is the theme for Keaveney's show (I think).

Worry not, there was no mention of this place.

Gideon Coe at 9pm on weekdays is very good.

No, it's my name

[Tonto]

It's not Cheers, it's Hill Street Blues.

[boxelder]

Ah, course it is. That's age for you. Hill St Blues, Cheers, Taxi and MASH - great TV.

[Kumquat]

My radio only plays 4 and 6.
I bet there's some other good stuff out there. Any suggestions?
I did enjoy a couple of between the ears episodes off of bbcr3 that were linked via w.a.y.l.t.n?
Hundreds of internet radio stations...,

[GregMay]

Similar, only 4 and 6 in ours. Two 40 year olds and a 4 year old. Works well.

My wireless has got things like Light, Home, Hilversum, Third on it. There's no numbers at all, so I'm not quite sure what everyone's on about to be honest.

Am just listening to it for the first time ever, and am now asking myself the same question - thanks guys

[Lazarus]

My radio only plays 4 and 6

obviously dont like classical music or sport i do 3-6 but 6 is the least as i prefer shuffle on the MP3 for "pop" music

[Bearbonesnorm]

Can't receive FM here, so the wireless in the workshop is tuned to R4 on LW - woman's hour and the test match for me. Perhaps odd that I'm not a woman and am no fan of cricket.

Not been listening for long enough?

[Bearbonesnorm]

Not been listening for long enough?

How long does it take?

[PaulB2]

Before you turn into a woman? I'm not sure the Radio can do that.
