Zakia Sewell

Zakia Sewell is a British writer, DJ, and broadcaster based in London. She hosts Dream Time on BBC Radio 6 Music and has produced and presented radio documentaries and podcasts for BBC Radio 3 and 4, Tate, and Camden Art Centre. Her acclaimed four-part Radio 4 series My Albion inspired this book. Finding Albion explores myth, folklore, and the quest for a hidden Britain — from neopagans on Glastonbury Tor at the spring equinox to the cultural echoes of the Caribbean at Notting Hill Carnival. The book was longlisted for the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction 2026. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers a vivid, original journey through Britain's folk traditions — uncovering the ancient stories that still shape who we are.
