Book Club, from the archives: Annie Nightingale

from Best of the Spectator

Broadcaster and Radio DJ Annie Nightingale passed away earlier this year. In memory of her, please enjoy this episode of the Book Club podcast, from the archives, in which she joined Sam Leith in 2020 to talk about the publication of her book Hey Hi Hello.  Annie Nightingale was Britain’s first female DJ, an occasional Spectator contributor, and the longest serving presenter of Radio One. Annie spoke to Sam about the Beatles’ secrets, BBC sexism, getting into rave culture, the John Peel she knew - and how while most people never get past the music they love in their teens, she’s never lost her drive to hear tunes she’s never heard before. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
