Interview with Pete Tong
Your radio show celebrated 15 years of broadcasting this year? How do you keep the show fresh and exciting every week?
Pete: The hunger and the constant quest for new music that is the biggest thing that keeps it fresh. Every year the show always evolves and I have always believed in evolution rather than revolution. If you look at what she show sounded 15 years ago to today it has changed completely. There are more changes this year that are more obvious with the new timeslot of 7pm which has condensed the Friday night show, but I have a new show on a Thursday night as well and I still oversee the Essential mix on Saturday night. Change keeps you hungry, keeps you fresh and the camaraderie within the community with the internet as you are speaking to everyone all the time from all around the world.
Is it still a buzz being there with millions of listeners as they start their weekend?
Pete: Yes of course there is, I wouldn't do it to be honest. It is the biggest fun about doing the R1 show particularly compared to any other kind of radio show you've got one of the biggest network and online listeners which has always been really important to me.
