Wake The Nation: Who’s Running It This Week?

Wake The Nation is BACK! One listener picks the track, after 8 the Randomiser reveals the mystery game… plus AJ Tracey & Pozer’s huge Hulk Hogan lands as Track of the Day.

Swarzy is bringing serious weekend energy this Saturday, and this is your official wake-up call.

Wake The Nation is BACK, giving one listener the chance to run the show and set the tone for the whole country. One track. One moment. If you’re picking it, you better make it count.

Then after 8, things take a turn… as the Randomiser steps in to decide the mystery Game of the Day. No clues, no warnings just pure unpredictability. What will it land on? You’ll have to lock in to find out.

And the music? Nothing but heat. AJ Tracey and Pozer step up with a huge Track of the Day “Hulk Hogan”. It’s bold, it’s loud and it’s already making serious noise.

Expect big tunes across Hip-Hop, R&B, Afrobeats and more, plus plenty of moments to get involved, shout-outs and that signature Swarzy vibe keeping the energy high from start to finish.
