Tom Robinson hosts BBC Introducing: Fresh On The Net in the small hours of Sunday and Monday mornings on BBC 6 Music. Both shows feature two hours of new tunes from cyberspace - tracks by emerging artists that can also be heard on their own MySpace pages etc. The music is recommended each week by listeners, musicians - and colleagues from BBC Introducing shows across the UK. Anyone can suggest tracks for the show (including their own) using the online Recommend Music form.
His Friday night shows on BBC 6 Music feature live-to-air sessions by bands and solo artists direct from the 6 Music Hub plus Tom's pick of the new releases and vintage album tracks.
