For those of you who got here and know nothing about me I'll run it down for you real quick:
I broadcast a weekly radio show ‘Yinka and the ID’, Wednesdays at 530pm on London’s award winning Arts station Resonance FM. On the show I discuss current affairs, music and arts in a transatlantic context, drawing on my knowledge of music and culture in London and New York and I have broadcast the show from both cities. The aim of the show is to be informative yet irreverent. I write, produce, broadcast the show myself. This includes jingle production and engineering. I interviewed cultural icons including: Two time Grammy award winners Living Colour; DEATH (Detroit proto-punk rockers and Jack White favourites). I have covered historic events, where I interviewed members of the public, such as: US Presidential Elections - 2012 and 2008; Trayvon Martin Shooting US - 2012; Occupy Wall Street US 2011 - I was the first person to report directly from the Wall Street camp for Resonance; Student Protests UK 2011 - I reported from the scene as the protest happened and interviewed protesters.
So that's dealt with. Why the blog? Well I decided to put all the shows WITH tracklists in one place - finally.
Please bear with me as i add the shows restrospectively in as quickly as I can - the newer shows will be going up first.
Each post will always have a Soundcloud version of the weekly show, with Mixcloud versions being added as soon as I can get them uploaded.
So now you;re here, what are you waiting for - check out my first post now:
