The Steve Show

The Steve Show is the unofficial name for Steve's new show on BBC 6 Music, which started in January 2007. He is joined by his friends Dan and Harry, who are, in the best possible sense, nobodies. The show is more music based than the Xfm Shows, although there is still banter, and we see the return of features that were first seen in the Xfm years, such as Hip-Hop Hooray and Cover Cover Man (formerly known as Cover Me Up). However, the show has introduced many of it's own unique features such as 'Songs To Seduce Women By' and 'The Fiendishly Difficult Music Question'.

This week's show was pre-recorded which Steve thinks takes some of the energy out of the show - and it's hard to disagree really.

This weeks Song To Seduce Women By is A Case of You by Joni Mitchell.
