Given that Notting Hill Carnival is fast approaching and also the overwhelming response to Gilles’ extended interview (it was supposed to be 20 mins!) with the legendary DJ/broadcaster David Rodigan when it was first broadcast a couple of months ago, we decided to make it available as a podcast. Selection without objection!
