Expat Radio’s founding voice — Dave Hailwood — returns this summer with more music, mischief, and on-air magic. Here’s what to expect from the new season of The All-Day Special.
The Show That Started It All
Broadcasting live Monday to Friday from 9am–1pm, The All-Day Special is part chat show, part jukebox, and all personality. Dave’s signature mix of Northern wit, hand-picked tracks, and expat empathy has made him a favourite across 110+ countries.
What’s New This Season?
- Live Listener Call-Ins – Yes, you can now join the show on-air and share your stories.
- Guest Spot Wednesdays – Each week Dave welcomes a different expat, artist, or local legend for a proper natter.
- Throwback Thursdays – A new weekly segment featuring retro classics and radio memories from the early days.
- Topical Tunes – Music tied to the week’s biggest expat news stories.
Dave Says:
“I started Expat Radio because I missed the voices I knew — not just the songs. This season we’re bringing even more of that connection back. Real people, real stories, real laughs. No bots allowed.”
