Over the last four years, GROW Radio has become far more than an online radio station. It has helped people launch podcasts, share stories, build confidence, connect with others, and discover new opportunities through podcasting.
As the platform has grown, I’ve realised that the most valuable part of GROW Radio has never just been the radio itself — it has been the podcasts, conversations, and community around it.
Because of that, GROW Radio will move away from being a live online radio station towards the end of 2026 and evolve into its next chapter as a broader podcasting community and discovery platform.
Before that happens, I want to celebrate everything podcasting has helped create with one final broadcast week: GROW Live 2026.
From Monday 14th to Sunday 20th September 2026, GROW Live will focus on showcasing as many podcasts as possible from independent creators, community voices, new launches, and existing shows. Alongside featured podcasts, the week will also include a FREE 5 Day Podcasting Challenge, community activities, and the launch of the GROW Radio Club on Monday 21st September 2026.
The goal is simple: help more people discover podcasts, support creators, and explore the opportunities podcasting can create.

This isn’t really the end of GROW Radio — it’s the next stage of its growth.
GROW Live 2026 runs from 14–20 September 2026.
One final broadcast week. Thousands of conversations. A new chapter begins.
