  • BBC Radio 1 DJ Jaguar is launching a weekly podcast, UTOPIA Talks. The series will explore issues facing young people in dance music culture, with a different topic covered every Wednesday. UTOPIA Talks will be available on all major streaming platforms. The first episode, "The Return of Raving!," is out June 30th and includes interviews with Heidi, The Blessed Madonna, Jayda G and Lauren Lo Sung, who all performed at the Circus pilot events held in Liverpool earlier this year. Future guests include Sama' Abdulhadi, SHERELLE, Mary Anne Hobbs and south- east London collective Queer House Party. "My generation is passionate about creating change and breaking boundaries, and this podcast is a space for in depth, meaty conversations about issues in dance music culture and the wider world," Jaguar said. "I'm excited about having a platform to give my generation a voice, and I hope it becomes a cornerstone to young music lovers and artists." In May, Jaguar announced the Future1000 initiative, a national programme to train 1,000 women, trans and non-binary people in electronic music production. Listen to the UTOPIA Talks trailer.
