Radio Worldwide FM

Worldwide FM is a British-rooted music platform bringing together DJs, musicians and creative communities from different parts of the world. Its radio programme follows musical connections across places and genres, with jazz, soul and electronic selections appearing alongside a much wider range of traditions. Individual contributors bring their own perspective to the station rather than working within a single mainstream playlist.

The show archive includes programmes made in London and other international locations, with the host's background helping shape each selection. Jazz fusion, folk, gospel, disco and experimental electronics are among the styles represented in its published material. The programme encourages listeners to move between scenes, hearing how different musical histories and contemporary ideas can meet.

Founded by Gilles Peterson in 2016, the station gives emerging selectors a place through New Voices, including programmes by Zaereo and Giovanna Boffa. Gia Fu connects salsa and Afro-Latin music with East Asian sounds, while Breakfast Club Coco explores Brazilian selections. Shows associated with Accra, Melbourne, Warsaw and New York illustrate the geographical range. The common thread is the host's knowledge of a particular scene, allowing international programming to retain specific musical and cultural detail.

Collaborative series and special broadcasts extend that approach beyond the regular schedule. Worldwide FM's editorial work examines creative spaces and local music communities, placing the records within a broader cultural setting. It is a service for listeners who enjoy discovering music through people with specialist knowledge, with the station's international outlook providing the link between those varied contributions.
