BBC Radio 1Xtra has been celebrating its 20th birthday throughout this year. It launched on 16 August 2002, and has become a vital part of Black British culture and the music scene in the UK.
This week Christian talks to drive host Reece Parkinson about what the station has achieved in those 20 years. Reece discusses his personal journey in radio, why he was so keen to be part of 1Xtra, and why he thinks it is such an important radio station. He also shares his advice for people who want to break in to presenting.
