Simon Philo
With his encyclopedic knowledge of pop’s past, Simon Philo would arguably be the RFM presenter you’d most want on your team for a pub quiz music round.
As subject leader of Pop Music In Society at the University of Derby, and the author of two popular books on music history, he spends his working life sharing his knowledge and passion.
It’s a wonder he finds the time and energy to also make the monthly ‘Children Of The Revolution’ show for RFM, but he does… and it’s brilliant.
Simon looks after all our Thursday night specialist shows, and he has recruited a number of great presenters to the station under the banner of The Pop Society Presents…
