About 30 years ago I was lucky enough to there at the birth and literal explosion of a brand new British born genre, jungle, or Drum & Bass as more commonly known. There werent many females in the scene at the start, let alone DJ's but my guest in this podcast is a true pioneer and trailblazer of jungle and is now one of the world's top DnB DJ's & producers, DJ Dazee. The Ruff Neck Ting Crew were one of the first collectives to put on DnB nights and paved the way before anyone else was doing it! As well as still being uber successful promoters, they are a record label, and @dazeeruffneck is not just one of our top DJ's but also a producer, mentor, teacher and so much more!

With 200,000 festival goers descend on Worthy Farm in a small village in the West country to attend the world's most iconic festival, yup, its that time of year for Glastonbury Festival. The festival has always pledged to support charities from Greepeace to Oxfam but also really small, local charities and we discover an incredible collaboration between the festival's connectivity sponsor @vodafoneuk to address the massive issue of digital exclusion. Did you know that 22% of UK population dont have any access to the internet? That's 8.5 million people!! We find out how this years @glastofest goers can support festival goers by renting or purchasing battery packs? And just because the festival is over doesnt meet you cant still help!  Check out the website to find out how you can help.  Just imagine what it would be like to have no tech, no phone or no internet? Exactly, its like loosing a limb.  Check out the Sparks Somerset website to find out more:

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Fem FM, the UK's first womens radio station, the organisation Sound Women South West decided to pay tribute and as part of the is Miranda had the privilege of interviewing the goddess of radio, Annie Nightingale. Annie joined Radio 1 in 1971, she was the first female DJ and was the only female DJ for 12 years!  We hear how Annie had to face horrific sexism and discrimination for many years.  Annie now actively seeks to encourage and empower young women in to Broadcasting. An absolutely living legend who has been broadcasting on Radio 1 now for 50 years!!
