Present
Adam and Joe began presenting the BBC Radio 6 Music Saturday morning show in October 2007.
Features on the show include 'Song Wars', where they both compose original compositions based on a common theme. Listeners then vote for which song they think is the best.
'Text the Nation' is another regular feature where listeners provide anecdotes based on a theme or question set by Adam and Joe. Themes have included 'Childhood Misconceptions' and 'Horror Film Ideas'. The 'Text the Nation' feature was also instrumental in the uncovering and subsequent popularisation of the Stephen! call and response.
Their show won a Broadcasting Press Guild Award in 2008 for best radio programme of the year.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“... the loss of belief in future states is politically, though certainly not spiritually, the most significant distinction between our present period and the centuries before. And this loss is definite. For no matter how religious our world may turn again, or how much authentic faith still exists in it, or how deeply our moral values may be rooted in our religious systems, the fear of hell is no longer among the motives which would prevent or stimulate the actions of a majority.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
