The Beth Ditto Show

Available for 29 days

Beth brings the energy and the eclecticism to your Saturday morning, this week reflecting on her time at Primavera Sound in Barcelona, where she co-hosted her show live with Grimmy. She plays her signature grab-bag of music, ranging from Lizzy Mercier Descloux to Soul For Real, Nas to Suzy Q. Plus, she gets you hyped for the weekend with another Caffeine Kick, featuring tracks from Charli xcx and Fatman Scoop. Also in the show comes another Matter of Life and Beth. This week, Beth shares a little-known oddity from The Beach Boys' 1967 album 'Smiley Smile'. Hint: it may contain ASMR carrot-crunching sounds. Produced by We Are Grape for BBC Radio 6 Music.
