About this listen
The story of London’s first Black-owned radio station.
Broadcasting from West London, DBC brought the sound of reggae sound system culture to the airwaves and the spirit of carnival to the radio. DBC was also one of the first stations to understand the importance of branding, with its iconic T-shirts and badges.
In this episode, we hear from Mike Williams, who ran the station alongside founder Lepke. We also speak to author, historian, and former DBC DJ Lloyd Bradley; chef and TV presenter Andi Oliver; and Pyers Easton, who built the transmitter for DBC and many other pirate radio stations in London.
Produced, presented and written by Tayo Popoola
Additional production by Richard Attley
