Back with a guest! After last week's solo pod we welcome an extremely important figure in dance music broadcasting, BBC Radio 1's Sarah Story.
Last week we talked about alternative media - of course BBC Radio is as legacy as it gets, but particularly in dance music there really isn't anything to rival Radio 1. It's notionally British public radio but the global influence is huge and the degree to which new presenters gain an instant profile hasn't really diminished.
A relatively new addition to the roster, Sarah Story and her Future Dance show is now firmly established as one of the most important cornerstones of dance music radio. So of course she's a great person to have on the show.
We dig into her journey to Radio 1, via Capital FM, seasons as a worker in Ibiza, and running the breakfast show on regional radio.
And we also get into the workings of Radio 1 shows, how playlisting works, the role of pluggers, the wider perception of the station and the BBC... and a lot more.
This is a good one!
If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon! There are two tiers - \"Solidarity\" for $4 a month, which features the show without ads, regular bonus podcasts, and extra content. And \"Musicality\" which for a mere $10 a month gets you all the music we release on Hotflush and affiliate labels AND other music too, some of which never comes out anywhere else.
You can also make a one-off donation to the podcast using a card, with Paypal, or your Ethereum wallet! Head over to scubaofficial.io/support.
Plus there's also a private area for Patreon supporters in the Hotflush Discord Server... but anyone can join the conversation in the public channels.
