About This Station

Gold Dust Radio is a UK-based community station with a strong focus on soul music, as reflected in event names like "Soul Tide" and "Spring into Soul." Broadcasting in English, it goes beyond music to build a wider community through initiatives such as the Gold Dust Academy, which runs workshops for young people in music creation, podcasting, and DJing. The station regularly publishes "The Grapevine," a monthly newsletter connecting DJs, listeners, and supporters, and hosts social events like themed boat parties on the Thames in Reading. Its website presents a mix of news, event updates, and community projects, positioning the station as both a music outlet and a local hub for creative engagement.
