Herdle White – Longest serving African Caribbean BBC Radio Presenter

Herdle White happens to be one of my favourite human beings.  He is a gentle, humourous, warm, and forward-thinking man who has been instrumental in getting me started as a radio presenter at BBC Radio Leicester. His passion for working with and supporting his community, radio, and music is known across the world.

Herdle is the longest-serving African Caribbean radio DJ on the BBC and has been presenting shows for BBC Radio Leicester for over 50 years.

As part of its Black History Month calendar, Serendipity UK held its Blackchat: In Conversation with Herdle White on the 4th October.  The room was full and the stories, questions, feedback, and laughter were enthralling.  It was a delight to have been part of this event.
