Steve Snelgrove presented his last Radio Mundial program for Bay FM in March 2025, after 24 years.

Hear how a boy from Sheffield, UK, who had no sense of sound for his first four years of life, came to become an avid fan of a genre record companies called “world music,” he says, because “they couldn’t think of anything else”.

From reggae and punk to music from parts of Africa and around the globe, Steve has constantly relished the new, the long-forgotten, and the re-discovered, sharing his passion with community radio every week for decades.

Enjoy this special feature interview with Steve, featuring just some of the music to have marked his radio journey from the ‘80s to 2025.
