Radio Panacea Soul

Panacea Soul is a UK station devoted to soul, funk and groove. The broadcaster combines continuous music with a published schedule of presenter-led programmes, using the Panacea name for a service that ranges across classic and contemporary expressions of the genre. Its identity is musical rather than geographical, although it is produced for a UK audience and available through the station's own digital platforms.

Soul provides the centre of gravity, while funk, disco, soulful dance and related grooves allow the schedule to vary in energy across the day. Regular shows add curation and personality, and the official site supports listening with programme pages and schedule information. This makes Panacea Soul more than an unattended collection of tracks and gives specialist listeners a reason to return for particular styles and presenters.

Gary Prescott's Soul Kitchen explores rare soul and seventies recordings, while Rob Lees presents Northern Soul in Keep The Faith. Soul And Jazz Flavas with Steve Aggasild adds new soul, soulful gospel and smooth jazz. Ruby Lane's All Request Lunch lets listeners choose records, and The Quiet Storm turns towards mellow R&B and love songs.

Mike Mason presents Panacea Breakfast, Sam Brown hosts Mid-Morning Soul Spectrum and Shirley Awan is among the Drive Panacea voices. Roger Williams' Soulsorts Record Room places original vinyl at the centre of its selection, while John Heyes explores disco through One Foot In The Disco. Tony Shawcross adds Tamla Motown, Northern Soul and rare recordings in Soul Treasures, extending the range of specialist listening across the week.
