Secret Songs

Radio programme presented by Kim Wilde on Magic FM. The idea behind the show was that listeners reveal what a certain song reminds them of. The song gets played on the station after the story is read out by Kim.

Kim started to present the show in September 2008, weekly on Sundays between 9 and 12am. After three months, the show was extended from three to four hours, broadcast between 10am and 2pm.

In March 2014 the show was succeeded by the Kim Wilde Request Show.
