"Good Vibes" with Jessica Quinlan Hi, I’m Jess. I’ve always been known as the bubbly energetic one, as I have grown, I’ve developed a calm nature too – it’s a good balance. I’m pretty much about loving life, having a positive mindset and doing things that light you up. With my working journey, let’s say I have stepped into many different roles and industries - from personal training, working with children, working in disability, events and promotions, life coaching, being an adventure guide, barista and lots of different retail positions. I have even been a skater waiter in a diner – now that was fun! It seems that I have been searching for “my thing” - the thing that lights me up every day. Get me behind a microphone and I feel such a buzz. After working in several commercial radio stations as a promotional assistant, I can honestly admit watching the presenters made me dream that one day I wanted to do that. I was told about Noosa FM radio’s trainee course and I jumped at the chance of learning to become a presenter. So here I am - ready to bring you my “Good Vibes” radio show served with more than a dash of positivity and quirkiness.  Lunch Time: Thursday 12 pm - 2 pm

 The Millennium Scene with Reuben Cosgrove Saturday 3 pm - 5 pm: My program, The Millennium Scene, showcases music from all the sub-genres that have sprung up around punk and metal over the past three decades. From ska-punk to thrashcore to Midwest emo and everything in between, it explores the surprising diversity of the modern rock scene. I’ve lived on the Sunshine Coast all my life which, so far, is only 17 years. For more than half of that, I’ve had a fascination with music, learning about musical theory from a young age. I attribute most of my musical taste to the early 2000s video games I played as a child, with soundtracks that led me to discover punk legends like Less Than Jake and NOFX. I don’t often get the opportunity to share my musical tastes with like-minded people, so having a radio show was a perfect opportunity to do that on a larger scale. In recent years, I’ve also put my hand at writing songs myself.   Noosa FM is proud to announce the New Fundraiser Raffle. Winners will be drawn on-air during the popular Morning program “Active Noosa”, Tuesday 10th March. We don't expect Elvis to fly in as a hot air balloon, but we'd love you to be there :) Please come along to join in and to celebrate with us.

Noosa FM your ‘Heads-up’ radio on FM 101.3 loud and clear.    NOOSA FM celebrated their longest-serving volunteer presenters on Thursday as part of their 25th anniversary festivities. Founding and long-time members were thanked for their hard work and dedication to provide an on-air service to the community for more than two decades. Al Hensley and Mel Concepcion (top) are two of the originals and have devoted countless hours to all aspects of the station. Mel C. started by fundraising for Noosa FM during its inception, “I helped with fundraising in the beginning and eventually joined,” she said. “I love music. It’s great because you establish your name and a lot of people expect you to be there (on air) at that time every week.” Over the past 25 years, Mel Concepcion has presented a variety of shows and remembered in the early days having an old cassette player compared to the technology the station uses today. Al Hensley said he has seen a great change in Noosa community, both for better and for worse, over the 24 years he has been presenting. He also recalled how the station fulfilled a purpose in his life and went on to say “It’s opened a lot of doors. I was going through a period back then when I wasn’t doing much then I joined the station and I got a life and feel part of the fabric of Noosa.” NOOSA FM’s Sibylle Reisch said she was grateful for the hard work of their longstanding volunteers. NOOSA FM would like to congratulated the following recipients. 20 YEAR AWARD RECIPIENTS: Al Hensley Mel Concepcion Doug Gorman Wayne Carlson Kris Waldron Geoff Colwell Life Members: Vicky Riley — Vicky has performed a multitude of roles including music librarian, programming co-ordinator, system maintenance, training and presenter support. Vicky has also created and runs a wonderful overnight program called The Wave. Gisa Weatherill — Gisa has worked tirelessly for almost 20 years at Noosa FM in a variety of roles including program creation and reception work. For the last twelve months she has also taken on the role of treasurer worked hard to master MYOB. Retiring Volunteer: Gayle Nicholson deserves a special mention for more than 14 years of dedicated service to the station. Gayle created a wonderful jazz program and was a popular presenter and mentor to others. She will be sorely missed by many. Information courtesy of Caitlin Zerafa - Noosa News.
