Keith Woodhouse

Step into the world of Keith Woodhouse from Radio Woking—and the show that doesn’t mind getting it a bit wrong.

This episode leans into Wotsit Radio—Keith’s take on doing things his own way. Not polished, not overproduced, and definitely not trying to sound like everyone else.

From growing up in London’s East End and seeing the Sex Pistols, Bob Marley and Toots and the Maytals live, to standing on stages as compere at grassroots festivals, Keith’s perspective is built on real experience—not hindsight.

We get into that contrast: the big, polished feel of GuilFest versus the DIY, no-frills energy of Undercover Festival—which famously grew out of a small tent at GuilFest before becoming its own thing . Keith’s been right in the middle of that world too, regularly hosting and introducing bands at Undercover over the years .

There’s a bit of John Peel in the DNA—especially with in-house sessions and giving current bands a platform—but without the mythology. Just turning up, putting bands in a room, and seeing what happens.

It’s about radio that isn’t afraid to be rough round the edges. Missing cues, unexpected moments, great music, odd choices—that balance of chaos and instinct.

Getting it wrong… but in the right way.
