Country Music Talk Podcast
Last updated 12th May 2021
When Country music artists come to the UK they always come see Baylen Leonard at Country Hits Radio and this is where we share those moments with you.
You’ll always hear them on the radio but so much more goes on when the songs are playing. So, we thought we’d make a weekly podcast where you get to hear almost every word spoken between Baylen and some the best, newest and legendary Country music stars.

You can listen to all the best interviews and today’s best country music 24/7 if you live in the UK. Re-tune / scan your digital radio, download our app for your mobile or tablet, and ask your smart speaker to say, “Play Country Hits Radio”.
