In this episode, Chris Hawkins speaks with one of the finest voices in the radio business, Absolute Radio’s Leona Graham. After catching the radio bug at university, Leona certainly paid her dues DJing on local commercial radio stations across the country. Her tenacity and talent paid off with a slot on Virgin Radio that led to her becoming a long standing fixture at Absolute since its launch back in 2008. She’s many strings to her bow with popular podcasts a part of that repertoire but music remains her passion and she’s even recently begun playing events which she says is a whole new discipline!

From club to radio and every other music DJ in between; Chris Hawkins warms up his guests before asking them to pick a set of 5 questions from a box of 45 and there’s always an apocalyptic set closer too!

In Series 6 Chris cues up eight more episodes of life stories & experiences, tips & techniques, to find out just how the minds of much-loved DJs work.

Guests still to come in this series include Leona Graham, Huw Stephens, Sam Divine, Don Letts & more!
