About This Station

Boot Boy Radio is an independent, 24/7 online radio station based in the United Kingdom, launched in 2018 by founder Geoff Longbar. Broadcasting in English, it focuses on the full history of ska and reggae, while also embracing punk, Oi!, and soul — all sounds tied to the subcultures it celebrates. The station features a diverse roster of passionate presenters spinning rare vinyl, underground gems, and in-depth interviews, with a daily schedule that moves from dub and rocksteady to punk-fuelled shows. It positions itself as a community-driven, corporate-free operation, relying on listener donations to cover streaming, licensing, and equipment costs. Shows are also available on demand after broadcast via Podomatic, and the site highlights a "No.1 show" on the reggae charts.
