Who Are Foundation FM?

Led by Becky Richardson (UKOK Management), Ami Bennett (Somethin’ Else, R1, and BBC), and Frankie Wells (Capital Xtra and 1xtra), Foundation FM is an all female radio station based in the heart of Peckham, London.

Launched back in 2018, the station has quickly become the UK capital for underground music, art, and thought. But their main goal is to promote artist development, career mentoring, and to create a space for a diverse group of women and the LGBTQ* community.

The shows themselves throw traditional radio rules out the window, so no more breakfast or drivetime slots. Appealing to a younger audience, Foundation FM have tailored shows to shake-up the norm with boundary-pushing content. Heading up their shows are industry collective Bia, podcasters The Receipts, filmmakers Sistren, and DJ duo Banjee Boys (just to name a few).

The all female radio station broadcasts solely online, with on-demand catchup shows through Mixcloud. Choosing Radio.co, founding member Frankie explains:

"When we first started out, a big question was 'How are we gonna broadcast?'. We had some many different conversations, but the one that made sense to us was Radio.co."
