Jodie Whittaker says: "I'm so excited to be getting back on air with Shaun. I'm a massive fan of 6 Music and having the opportunity to present a show once again on the station is always a dream come true. It's an incredible line up and I'm personally so excited to see Róisín Murphy and Brittany Howard to name but a few!"
