Making some online waves for the pirate pioneers of UK radio

Yorkshire Evening Post

July 16, 2025

The world of broadcasting is ever-developing, so when podcasts double up as a cultural archive, it's always worth the listen.

Rebel Radio: Gaps In The Dial

The modern airwaves have their roots in pirate radio and six-part podcast series Rebel Radio: Gaps In The Dial tells the tale of its pioneers.

It's hosted by DJ, audio producer and presenter Tayo Popoola, and was commissioned by the Barbican.

Even though the podcast doesn't set out to be a dedicated guide, it does a great job of addressing some of the major moments in the history of pirate radio.
