BBC Introducing - Radio Shows and Podcasts

Every week we broadcast over 30 shows all over the country to bring you the latest unsigned, undiscovered and under the radar talent. Our family of local shows across the UK are at the frontline of discovering and playing new artists, so tune in to your local BBC Introducing show to hear who's making themselves heard in your neck of the woods.

But it doesn't end there. Our local champions regularly recommend the very best tunes from their scene to specialist and daytime DJs on Radio 1, 1Xtra, 6 Music and Asian Network. That means, if you're the cream of the crop, your music could be heard by a nationwide audience of millions.
