The Beth Ditto ShowAvailable for 28 days
Beth brightens up your Saturday with a healthy dose of tunes, laughs and caffeine! Her Matter of Life and Beth this week is a dedication to the late, great Dolly Parton. It comes in the form of Dolly’s first recorded song, when she was just 13 years old. This week, the listeners have got the aux for the Caffeine Kick, as they have picked three tracks to get you galvanised for the weekend ahead. Elsewhere in the show, Beth takes requests for Honey Dijon and The Breeders, and she also plays tunes from bands she loves like The Anemic Boyfriends and The Slits. If you have any requests for the Caffeine Kick, or you’d like to get in touch with the show, get in touch at bethditto@bbc.co.uk. Produced by We Are Grape for BBC Radio 6 Music.
