BBC Radio 6 Music – the UK’s No.1 digital station – has revealed a slate of new programmes for autumn 2025.
Kate Moss will host Music Uncovered, David Bowie: Changeling, a world exclusive, eight-part podcast exploring David Bowie’s artistic evolution between 1970-1975.
Kate Moss said: “David Bowie was a very special person. Someone who was much more than a friend – he was an enigma. So, when the chance came to dive into this extraordinary five-year chapter of Bowie’s life for 6 Music and BBC Sounds, hearing from those who joined him on his creative journey and those he continues to inspire, I was excited to help share the story of such an incredible transformation. This podcast is a real celebration of my friend, a true British icon.”
Will Wilkin, commissioning executive, BBC Music for David Bowie: Changeling, said: “David Bowie and Kate Moss both transcend fashion, music, and art – true creative forces constantly reshaping culture. This podcast offers a personal look at Bowie’s transformation, revealing his impact and legacy nearly a decade on.
“With Kate’s narration, the Bowie archive at V&A East Storehouse, 6 Music’s connection to his sound, and Zinc Media’s award-winning production, David Bowie: Changeling gathers the voices of those he inspired. As Bowie said, ‘I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring’ – this is Kate Moss on that constant reinvention that made him an icon.”
Available on BBC Sounds from 6am on September 10 and broadcast on 6 Music on September 22 (12-2am), the podcast features rare and unheard archive interviews with Bowie, including an exclusive interview from 2001 with podcast creator Des Shaw, and recently unearthed audio from the BBC Archive.
It also includes new interviews with those who knew Bowie, and who continue to be inspired by his legacy, including Boy George, Chrissie Hynde, Dave Gahan, Edward Enninful, Elton John, Goldie, Iggy Pop, Harris Reed, Robbie Williams and Twiggy, with archive interviews from Lady Gaga, Sinéad O’Connor, Lou Reed, Tracey Emin and more.
Episodes explore Bowie’s early performances with The Hype; his fascination with Andy Warhol; the creation of The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars and the legacy of his iconic Ziggy Stardust image; the famous Hammersmith Odeon show where he retired the rock persona; The 1980 Floor Show at London’s Marquee Club in 1973; the recording of Diamond Dogs; and his creation of The Thin White Duke.
The series comes as BBC partners, the V&A, launch the David Bowie Centre at V&A East Storehouse. The David Bowie Centre is a new working archive for the world’s largest collection dedicated to Bowie’s life and works, with free rotating displays of highlights from the collection.

In a further programming announcement, Beth Ditto has joined 6 Music with a new series, Indie Forever Disco, and a regular spot on Nick Grimshaw’s Breakfast Show titled What Would Beth Ditto Do? Grimshaw reflected on a less-than-successful pairing with Ditto on 6 Music during Glastonbury in our Music Week Awards interview following the station’s victory.
Beth Ditto will join Nick Grimshaw on the 6 Music Breakfast Show (weekdays 7-10am) every Tuesday from September 16. The singer, songwriter and Gossip frontwoman will share her take on life’s dilemmas and respond to listeners’ quandaries. What Would Beth Ditto Do? will also be available in vision each week on 6 Music’s YouTube channel.
Beth Ditto said: “I’m so excited to be joining 6 Music and to get to work with Nick every week is just the cherry on top. I’ve always been a huge fan of the station, so honestly… I’m so excited, I’m speechless. Which should work out great for radio!”
In November, Ditto will also host a new series, Indie Forever Disco with Beth Ditto for BBC Sounds, in which she’ll celebrate the biggest and best indie hits for the dance floor – from classic tracks to the hits of tomorrow.
6 Music has also unveiled a 12-part series titled Grounding, in which four neurodivergent artists share their lived experiences: composer, DJ and 6 Music’s Afrodeutsche, author and podcaster Blindboyboatclub, musician, producer and DJ Emma-Jean Thackray and singer, songwriter and musician Gary Numan.
Grounding will be broadcast Monday to Thursday, 11pm-1am from September 15 to October 2. Emma-Jean Thackray (September 15-17), Gary Numan (September 18 and 22-23), Blindboyboatclub (September 24, 25 and 29) and Afrodeutsche (September 30 and October 1-2) each present three two-hour episodes.
Across the series, they share their stories, explore how their neurodivergence shapes their relationship with music and highlight the songs that hold personal significance.
Grounding is produced by Granny Eats Wolf, working with The Donaldson Trust, The national body for neurodiversity, which delivers services and improves access and opportunity for neurodivergent people.
Samantha Moy, head of BBC Radio 6 Music, said: “There’s so much to look forward to on 6 Music this autumn. It’s a joy to welcome Kate Moss to celebrate an artist close to her heart and ours – David Bowie. I’m proud to be working with four incredible neurodivergent artists, Emma-Jean Thackray, Gary Numan, Blindboyboatclub and our very own Afrodeutsche, who will lead conversations exploring music, identity and creativity in our new series, Grounding. And then there’s Beth Ditto, who will be doing all of that and more with Nick Grimshaw on our Breakfast Show, and later this year with Indie Forever Disco.”
