Flow With The Show #006: Laurie Charlesworth / Road to Radio, Working with Top DnB Artists & Finding Purpose

Flow With The Show

Flow With The Show #006 guest is Laurie Charlesworth, a presenter and music journalist known for her tireless work championing Drum & Bass. Born and bred in Leicestershire, UK, she’s worked behind the scenes managing legendary artists Andy C and Adam F, not to mention her work freelancing at Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1xtra and Asian Network. Alongside being the host of Drum & Bass Radio on Spotify (the current #1 show with music on the platform), Laurie is also known widely for becoming the first and currently only female to host the BBC Radio 1 Drum & Bass Show.

I thought it would be super cool to turn the tables and interview the person behind most of the DnB artist interviews I’ve seen over the last few years. I'm so grateful that Laurie came on the show!! This was our first time chatting live, and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

We talk about her experience working with and interviewing major DnB artists, common threads of success among them, and how she stops herself from fan-girling haha 😊 We also discuss Laurie’s early school days pursuing acting, how she grew a career in radio, working with charities, her journey as a freelancer, and differences between the DnB community in Canada and the UK. And we enjoy an unexpected interruption, lots of laughs, and much more.

Thank you so much for watching and listening. 🙏
