Virgin Radio Pride UK returns for third summer running

Virgin Radio Pride UK is returning to the airwaves for its third season on 1 June.

The station plays music from the last twenty years together with discussion from the community to celebrate LGBTQ+ culture.

Presenters who will be heard include Chris Evans, Graham Norton, Steve Denyer, Phil Clifton,  Alex Milsom, Shivani Dave, Emma Goswell, Debbie Ryan, Stephen Sullivan, Matt Horton, Felix Rackow and Olivia Jones.

New additions joining the team this summer are one-half of The Gossip Gays podcast, Billy Andrew, Alex Woolhouse, Graeme Smith, and Lewis Oakley.

The weekly feature Big Conversations will discuss many issues and documentary specials include The life and legacy of George Michael, an hour-long special delving into the life of George Michael and his influence on LGBTQ+ culture, and Neurodiversity In LGBTQ+ Community.

Alex Milsom says: “I’m so happy to be back on-air on Virgin Radio Pride, a station that I know means so much to so many people. We have achieved so much and had so many important conversations over the last two years and I can’t wait to see what we’ll get up to in 2023.”

Shivani Dave adds: “I’m so excited to be a part of the return of Virgin Radio Pride UK. The station has brought so much joy to the LGBTQ+ community and tackles complex issues that affect us. As reports of homophobia and transphobia are rising in the UK, this space is increasingly important as a source of comfort. I’m honoured to be a part of it and be a voice of our community, for our community.”

Virgin Radio UK Deputy Content Director, Nick Daly, comments: “I have loved listening to Virgin Radio Pride for the past two years and I am delighted we can bring it back for a third. Along with some great tunes it’s also a place to have vital discussions with the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.”
