When Tiffany Calver became the first female host of BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra’s Rap Show at 24, she was unprepared for the intense reactions, including comments from listeners and notable figures like Jeremy Clarkson. She described the overwhelming opinions as challenging but ultimately felt proud to “ruffle some feathers,” indicating that change can provoke fear. Calver believes that the presence of women in such roles is becoming less intimidating. Her final pre-recorded show will air soon, marking the end of her seven-year tenure at the station.
