Compliments of the Season from 6Music

I really don't like that last negative entry popping up at the top of my blog so I'm dashing in like an advance party from Reindeer Squadron with some lovely little bits to look forward to from the magical, festive trees around the Castle ramparts.

The weekend before Christmas will begin with the regular show (if you call the last live broadcast for a few months 'regular' in any way).

BBC 6 MUSIC Saturday 19 December 2009
Adam And Joe
Saturday 19 December
10.00am-1.00pm BBC 6 MUSIC

Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish prepare for the Christmas season with their weekly reflections and some festive songs.

On the following Monday, they've scheduled some retropod broadcasts. At Midnight each night, you can listen to what seems to be a rather clumsy crash edit of some mainly bland music stuffed into the nooks and crannies of the lovely bits of daft waffle OR just download the podcasts as they were originally intended to be poured into your ears.

Adam And Joe's 12 Podcasts Of Christmas
Monday 21 December
12.00midnight-1.00am BBC 6 MUSIC

Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish fans who missed the prize-winning comedy duo's BBC 6 Music podcasts the first time round are in for a very special treat over the festive period, as the station offers the 12 Podcasts Of Christmas, available to listen to with music or simply to download.

This first programme was originally broadcast in January 2008.

Christmas Eve brings us a 'best of' but this year it's going to stay on 6Music. It seems that little Radio2 infiltration of last year was too much for the smooth types over there. This is the one that was lovingly put together by James. I'll bet he would have had many willing volunteers to help him wander through the last twelve months of material.

BBC 6 Music presenters Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish
Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish present the highlights from their Saturday morning BBC 6 Music show, featuring their take on the Glastonbury Festival, MPs' expenses and the BBC's Points Of View and The Archers shows. Plus there's the best of the listener contributions to Text The Nation.

It looks like Boxing Day is the designated mutual loving day for our two dog handlers. This is the pre-recorded show and it's usually a right rollocking radio rumble.

Adam And Joe
Boxing Day Saturday 26 December
10.00am-1.00pm BBC 6 MUSIC

It's Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish's traditional present-swapping show. The boys embrace Christmas cheers (and eggnog!) and Boggins the dog is bound to make an appearance, but will he make it through Christmas or will he be released from the Big British Castle for good?

If that warm and lovely pool of glistening, listening liquid doesn't feed all your frottage needs, luxuriate in the news that Adam and Joe have been nominated in two Loaded Lafta categories. If you can be arsed, log on and vote.
