Steve England's Radio World

Steve England takes you on a personal spin through his love of radio, from listening to Roundabout on the BBC Light Programme in his grandparents' old ambulance whilst travelling between variety theatres, to working on pirate radio ships and marching on Downing Street to campaign for commercial radio in Britain.

Steve highlights the stations and presenters that made radio sound so special over the decades.

Steve is well-poised to observe this amazing medium. He grew up with a passion for listening to it - as many of us did - then working on the pirate stations before playing a role in the earliest days of UK commercial radio. Then, he worked alongside stations here and around the world as as one of the leading lights in the radio jingle industry.

Steve shares the excitement, the dramatic events and the fun that has made radio so special in his life. The programme features many rare recordings never heard before.
