Waking up the Nation!

Available for 27 days

Swarzy kicks things off with Wake Up The Nation, giving one listener the power to wake up the entire country with their tune. Whether you’re getting ready, on the move or easing into the weekend, this is your chance to set the vibe for everyone listening. After 8, things get unpredictable when the Randomiser revs up to reveal which game we’re playing and the twist is even the team don’t know what it will land on. It could be Deep Dive, where we piece together clues to guess a mystery celeb. Maybe it’s Locked In!, where you go head-to-head matching words at the exact same time. Or Whose La La La, where you have to name the song from just its La La La's. You might also hear Name That Ting, Where The Hood At, the Music Video Game, Know Your Hood the Quiz of Last Week putting your knowledge to the test. Add Swarzy’s big personality, loads of listener moments, Track of the Week, and the biggest Hip-Hop, R&B and Afrobeats and you’ve got the ultimate Saturday morning soundtrack.
