Countywide Radio Welcomes DJ Poppa Bear to the Airwaves with The Indie Division

Countywide Radio is proud to announce the arrival of Tony “Poppa Bear” Wood, an experienced and passionate DJ, to its broadcasting lineup. With over four to five years of internet radio experience, Poppa Bear brings a rich musical heritage and an unmistakable love for great music to the station.

Born in Nottingham on 22 May 1976, Tony Wood—known across social media and the radio community as DJ Poppa Bear—was raised in a household filled with music. Influenced early on by parents who played in bands, music became a lifelong passion that naturally evolved into a career behind the decks.

Originally known for his deep roots in Northern Soul, Ska, and Reggae, Poppa Bear has since broadened his musical horizons, confidently spinning a wide range of genres while staying true to his authentic style and sound.

His new show, The Indie Division with Poppa Bear, will celebrate the very best of Britpop and Indie music, featuring iconic artists such as The Stone Roses, Joy Division, and many more. The show promises a carefully curated journey through classic and influential tracks that helped shape the UK music scene.

“I put my heart and soul into every radio show I do,” says Poppa Bear. “Music isn’t just something I play—it’s part of who I am. I’m really looking forward to showcasing my talents and sharing great music with listeners on Countywide Radio.”

With his experience, versatility, and genuine passion for music, DJ Poppa Bear is set to become a standout voice on Countywide Radio, delivering quality programming and unforgettable listening experiences.

Tune in to The Indie Division with Poppa Bear on Countywide Radio and experience Indie and Britpop the way it was meant to be heard.
