Young British Asians finally get a platform on BBC Asian Network to talk identity, mental health and work life

Highlights:

  • BBC Asian Network is starting a new show called Asian Network Trending.
  • The show runs for two hours every week and is made for young British Asians.
  • It covers the topics that matter most to them like what’s trending online, questions of identity, mental health etc.
  • Amber Haque and the other hosts will share the show in turns, each talking about the issues they know and care about.
  • The network is moving to Birmingham as part of bigger changes behind the scenes.

Speaking up isn’t always easy. This show gives young people a space where their voices can be heard. Music on the radio, sure. Bhangra, Bollywood hits, endless remixes. But real conversations about identity, family pressure, mental health? Rarely. Until now.

From 27 October, Asian Network Trending goes live every Wednesday night for two hours of speech instead of beats. The first hour dives into trending news; the second hour goes deeper into family expectations, workplace racism, LGBTQ+ issues, and mental health stigma. And it’s not just one voice. Amber Haque and other rotating presenters keep it fresh.
