In December 2005, Brand filled in for [[Nemone]] with co-presenter [[Karl Pilkington]] for three one-off radio shows for [[BBC Radio 6 Music]]. In April 2006, Brand was given a regular Sunday morning 10{{nbsp}}am
The [[BBC Radio 6 Music]] shows would usually take on a different theme each week, for instance one week the theme was "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" Lock would tell stories of being caught accidentally drowning a rodent by a vicar, while on the "Lies" themed show Brand would talk about pouring [[jif (lemon juice)|Jif]] round his bathroom and telling his mother it had come out when trying to urinate. The trio would regularly tease one another about these absurd and hilarious anecdotes. There would be an almost weekly item where Brand would read out a made-up story from the tabloids about his private life. A constant source of fascination and frustration was "Trevor's Sonic Enigma", which was later renamed "Trevor Done A Noise" by Brand and Morgan. This was meant to be a short clip of sound effects and voices (all done by Lock) meant to suggest the title of a song. These enigmas were notable for being misleading and confusing as well as very long, winners were invited to join the presenters in the studio the next week. The other item was "Challenge Trevor" in which Lock was set a list of undesirable challenges by the listeners. These went from eating lemons to serenading [[Noel Gallagher]] with an [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]] song in Lock's [[Elvis Presley]] voice.

In October 2006, [[BBC]] announced a 40% rise in listeners to BBC digital radio, which they claimed was largely attributed to Brand and his show. According to industry ratings body [[RAJAR]], the station was attracting over 400,000 listeners.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6086738.stm|title=BBC NEWS - Entertainment - 'Brand effect' boost for 6 Music|website=news.bbc.co.uk}}</ref> Because of Brand's work in movies and stand-up, the show had to be broadcast from locations away from the radio station. It was recorded in Hawaii for 3 months in 2007 while Brand was filming [[Forgetting Sarah Marshall]] and from Los Angeles on several occasions in 2008, with Matt and Mr. Gee remaining in London. In May 2008 Matt joined Russell in L.A. in order to pursue opportunities within the film industry, in particular with writing. When Brand was on holiday, the BBC sometimes aired a "best bits" programme and sometimes had an alternative show with another presenter, usually [[Lauren Laverne]]. In the absence of Matt Morgan during the last few weeks of the show in September–October 2008, the following acted as guest presenters alongside Brand: [[Simon Amstell]], [[Noel Gallagher]], [[Alan Carr]], [[David Baddiel]] and [[Jonathan Ross]]. On 31 May 2008 show, Brand announced that the programme was now produced by Vanity Projects, the production company that he owns and has been part of with many of his previous TV shows.
