THE GOOD NEWS: Tuesday 6 pm - 8 pm

I joined the station back in 2006 a year before we won Australia’s Best Community Radio Station. It was an exciting time of moving to the flash new premises at the J in Noosa Junction and lots was happening. I ran drive time and Brekky shows with a variety of co-hosts such trying out some innovative platforms such as Backpacker radio where I would gather a raggedy bunch of international travelers from the nearby hostel and drag them all into the studio to talk about their Noosa experience and play some of their favourite music from back home.

Variety is most definitely more than just the spice of my life, it IS my life, with over eighty different careers in my portfolio so far (I’m aiming for one hundred and one) and I believe in spreading that joy. This leaps out, hopefully, in the eclectic breadth of my musical tastes which I will rejoice in sharing with listeners in the new show “The Good News” on Tuesday nights.

Having travelled the myriad highways and backwaters of this epic land for many years I chose Noosa as the perfect place to raise a family and settle in my home at the beloved Lake Cooroibah.

In the missing years between my radio stints I gained a degree in creative writing and held a few more great jobs for my growing employment history. The next one for that list is ‘Writer’ …at last – time to pursue my biggest dream of all.

FRANKY AVALON'S ROCK 'N' ROLL SPORTS SHOW: Sunday 10 am - 12 pm

THE GOOD NEWS: Tuesday 6 pm - 8 pm

Hi all, I grew up in Melbourne where I lived until I was about 28, when I took off to a Down to Earth festival on the Vic/NSW border and never went back.  I spent 15 years in Nimbin where I first discovered community radio as a work for the dole commitment, re-inventing new skills I could gain to be allowed to keep doing it. (yes for 15 years) I was a big part of getting them their permanent licence, as well as being on air and involved in production. Almost everything was CD’s and minidiscs back then. Oh, the stories I could tell; but won’t.

Fast forward to Noosa Community Radio (which it was called then), where I was first refused as a Centrelink participant, then got involved anyway, becoming a presenter, producer, trainer, vice-president, semi-techie, web master and mister fix-it man. Later I was a paid supervisor. I jumped in to the world of sound editing software with a lot of help from Sheng Yee, our techie at the time and Harry Miller, both enduring and selfless heroes to the station. I have a passion for local, social and political affairs and delight in finding songs with lyrics to fit my stories.

I’ve been AWOL for a few years, but now I’m back because Fuzzy asked me to share a “Good News” program with him. How could I refuse.

SOUL'D OUT: Wednesday 8 pm - 10 pm.

'Jethro' loves his music and has quarantined some of best soul and funk from the 70’s and 80’s - that golden era of sound in the UK, USA and Australia.

But music, like everything else, re-invents itself, regenerates and morphs into forever changing genres and styles.

So, on his Wednesday night show Soul'd Out you can also 'pin your ears back' and catch contemporary dance, electronica, synth pop and lounge.

"But music is politics too….even Justin Bieber" (according to Rolling Stone magazine). So, also get a serve of 'Jethro’s Jawbone' - a weekly look at current affairs, topical issues, and the politics of sport.

Drawing on Jethro’s (long) career in journalism, government affairs and media (and living on three continents) there’s no lack of fodder to pick on.

Two hours of soul sounds, brain food and banter…until we’re 'Soul’d Out!'

NOOSA MAGAZINE: Sunday 9 am - 11 am

Tracey loves words and how they can work in powerful and compelling ways to shape information; the ultimate goal being to captivate readers and listeners. She is fascinated in people’s stories and on her Noosa Magazine program you’ll hear interviews with interesting folk who have something unusual to say, each with an individual view on what’s important in life. There will also be news from around Australia and a mix of rock/pop and indie music.

Tracey is a well experienced journalist with a passion for communications. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Media and English and a Graduate Diploma in Education. She has studied broadcasting for radio and television at the ‘Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts’ (WAAPA), and has lectured at two Australian universities in the fields of education, media theory, professional writing and public relations.

She has worked for news agencies in Australia, Indonesia and The Middle East and her experiences as a media specialist include working as a radio reporter and producer with the ‘Australian Broadcasting Corporation’ (ABC), as a general news journalist, feature article writer and sub-editor for ‘News Limited’ and as a news reader/director and morning program presenter for commercial radio stations.

More recently, Tracey’s deep affection for words led to her being chosen to review a book for the ‘Children’s Book Council of Australia’ which won the ‘Eve Pownall Award for Information Books’. She was also selected to judge the ‘Young Territory Author Awards’ in the Northern Territory of Australia.

THURSDAY BREAKFAST: Thursday 7 am - 9 am.

Grace grew up in mainstream society, living a conventional life until a car accident in her late teens changed everything. She was rushed to hospital in a critical condition, had a Near Death Experience … and woke up with heightened psychic awareness. Ever since, she has been able to perceive, see, hear and speak to energies.

It took three years of rehabilitation before she could walk again, and a lot longer to learn how to drive her new, unconventional reality.

To make sense of it all, she started reading Dr. Wayne Dyer's books, which catalysed and clarified her new direction. She went on to discover and utilise the work of many other world renowned wayshowers, authors and spiritual teachers – mainly Eckhart Tolle, Abraham-Hicks, Bryon Katie, Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Louise Hay, Doreen Virtue, Access, Gary Douglas and Dr. Dain Heer.

As a clairvoyant medium Grace has read for famous actors and politicians, and had an extraordinary experience with the Dalai Lama's official bowl players when they gifted her their Tibetan singing bowls, opening up a new direction creating soothing, therapeutic, meditative music, mesmerising many with her angelic voice.

She has also studied counselling and qualified as an expressive therapist.

She has been the wife of a senator, travelled the world, met many famous people and is related to Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland.

Grace has three children and has called the Sunshine Coast home for over 25 years.

She has reached a place where she is genuinely happy, positive and thriving after choosing a greater life and choosing it anew every day. She loves to inspire and encouraging others. It is her life's work.‘Wonderland’ is part of that calling.
