Brilliant, eclectic mix of music. Opens your ears to music you wouldn't otherwise hear.
Don't like it, don't listen. Each to their own.

I don't like everything she plays, but would rather listen to a radio show that challenges and surprises than one that regurgitates all the same stuff I have in my record collection. As well as playing some stuff I'd only want to hear once, 6 Music has introduced me to some great new artists and some old ones that had passed me by. I'm currently mopping up the back catalogue of Jenny Lewis thanks to 6 Music playing this corker some time back:

Cerys has just played Tony Joe White, who's responsible for great things like this: Who else is going to do that?

I bet she doesn't even like it, and is just pretending to be 'different'.
She probably has One Direction in her car tape deck.

You should try some Dandelion Radio- they played this cover earlier.

And to think some enlightened people used to say the same about John Peel.
If you dont like the show dont tune in simple really
Cerys is gorgeous. What is wrong with you lot ?

Don't forget Rilo Kiley. Fantastic band Jenny Lewis fronted.

I was just thinking exactly the same but in fairness he also played some absolute shite in his quest for something different.
Used to listen to his late night show on Radio One religiously and it was a way to discover some gems

To be even fairer, Peel was just about the only national broadcaster of his time to air genuine indie stuff, allowing us to make up our own minds whether stuff was shite or non-shite.

True when I lived abroad in the early Seventies I used to get friends to tape a few shows and send them to me as Spanish Radio was absolute crap at the time
Cerys is an excellent presenter and it's one of my favourite shows on the radio. But I'm guessing that your radio /phone etc. has some sort of an off switch if you don't want to listen

I don't think that's strictly true. On a weekday night most DJs on Radio 1 were playing indie music. There was Steve Lamacq, Andy Kershaw, Janice Long and Radcliffe/Riley all playing whatever they wanted. Whispering Bob Harris also and on a Sunday evening was Brighton's own Annie Nightingale.

I think THPP was probably talking pre-Andy Kershaw and co, more in the latter years of Caroline/London and early Radio One. Possibly even pre Annie Nightingale and Whispering Bob on Whistle Test. There was a time when Peel seemed to be the only one playing different stuff to Prog Rock and Pop
