The Ukulele Podcast

Welcome to The Ukulele Podcast.


Whether you want to hear how James Hill put together his famous arrangement of Billie Jean, or how Jake Shimabukuro played the ukulele for the Queen, it's all in this podcast.


Join me, John Atkins, for long-form uke-centric chats with everyone from Cynthia Lin, Bernadette Teaches Music and Victoria Vox, to Nick Cope, Bakithi Kumalo and Will Grove-White.


There's also stories recorded on-the-go such as my behind-the-scenes account of a local ukulele festival in England, and audio diary of my trip to the NaMM music convention in Los Angeles.


Plus listener contributions about your favourite ukuleles and what they mean to you.


The Ukulele Podcast is sponsored by Kala Brand Music.
