Tom Ravenscroft on 6Music
Posted by Lying Doggo on 6 June 2010 - 3:33pm.
Having lost his excellent podcast a year or two ago now, Tom Ravenscroft has finally been given space on 6 music. (Last man aboard a sinking ship.)
Not only that, but they've put him on Friday night at 9 o'clock, when I'm often struggling to find anything non-shouty to listen to.
I'm just iPlaying the first show now and it's as good as I expected. (No sign of Hermeet yet, though.)

Very Good
listened to it on friday and he was top notch
shame if 6music goes under, as nighttimes & sundays are great-marc reilly, gideon coe etc but daytimes are dreadful, full of 'dj's' who like the sound of their own voice
Haven't had chance
to check out Tom R yet, but the vibes seem good. Gideon Coe: one of the Beeb's little lost diamonds - used to love him following Jupitus' breakfast show. And still top now, love listening to him.
YEP
Heard his show last night. Very good
Tom
Great show on Friday night from Peel jr. I have noticed though that the more he's on the radio the more he's starting to sound like his old man.
I was struck by the same thing
last night as I listened to him standing in for Tom Robinson. At times he sounded eerily like his dad, with that same faintly Scouse-ish undertow benath the laid back, sardonic drone.
All that said, I rather liked him on his own terms, not for how much like his old man he sounded. Good move by 6music if they can stay alive.
