So I’ve decided the next season of #RadioGreats will be the last one!

I think after 6 years, I’ve gone as far as I can, interviewing the legends of the Airwaves and hearing so many stories and it’s time to end it on a high!

I can promise Season 10 will have some great guests when it return!

We will be back for a 10 Series in 2026, if you have any suggestions as to who you would like to be featured let us know!😊📻📻
