MANDY'S MANIC MONDAY: Monday 6 pm - 8 pm

I have 1 Husband, 2 boys and 1 dog, I love them all and I can’t imagine my life without them.

I’m passionate about health, fitness, the environment, having a great mindset, personal growth, being kind and supporting others.

I moved to the Sunshine Coast from Sydney in 2017 and its so good for my soul on so many levels.

I’m super excited to be a presenter at Noosa FM spinning classic hits and rarities from the 80’s and 90’s.

SHAKEN & STIRRED: Sunday 6 pm - 8 pm

Growing up the mantra was “girls can do anything” and I have. I have hunted beside a real-life Dundee figure in North Qld; done the wild party thing; swam naked and danced with dingoes. I had 30 years experience in Education, am a published Author, a University Lecturer, Mentor, a Change Agent and a Global Heart Coherence Ambassador. I raised a family and completed 2 Master’s degrees. I honour my creative side as a Quilter and Writer and provide space for my spirituality by using meditation and mindfulness every day. Having lived with Parkinson’s Disease for 14 years, my passion now is helping those with Parkinson’s live the best life they can. Shaking & stirring your mindset at 6pm Sunday nights, meet you there!

So, it is about letting my passion for helping others - guide me as I do my
thing:

T- Talk together,
H - Heroes in health
I - Interviews and investigating ideas,
N - Navigating Parkinson’s  (How-to),
G - Gifts that are revealed

TUESDAY DRIVE: Tuesday 4 pm - 6 pm

Jazz has called the Sunny Coast his home for almost over 10 years, moving up with his family from the Northern Beaches of Sydney when he was in primary school.  Ever since, he developed an immense passion for music, beginning with learning the drums.  Whether playing on the opera house stage, in a pit orchestra, or in the studio… Jazz has loved every second of it!

At 17 years old, he is currently finishing his final year of school, making him the youngest presenter at NOOSA FM.

This is Jazz’s first year at Noosa FM, and he has a lot planned!  His current Program, “Young Blood”, explores Australia’s young musicians & what they listen to.  Specifically promoting the unheard local (often school-age) talent the sunshine coast has to offer. 

He provides an insight into the sounds of the future.

ROB ROGERS AFTERNOON SHOW: Tuesday 12 pm - 2 pm

I have recorded over a dozen CD's for different clients in my studio and I'm also the  Noosa FM production coordinator.

I originally started at Noosa FM in 2004 and in that time completed a Cert 3 in radio and media law.

Following a long break from radio,  I'm now back and fired up, so crank up the volume and let's get ready to rumble.

WORDS @ PLAY: Sunday 12 pm - 2 pm

Growing up on a sugar-cane farm on the Maroochy River, I am a proud born-n-bred Sunny Coaster! My 30-plus-year career as a journalist allowed the ‘curious me’ to ask many questions and write many positive stories. I worked in London for the Fleet Street newspapers in the late 80s, worked for Asia-Pacific region publications and spent many years as a journo and editor here on the Sunshine Coast and in Brisbane.

For 14 years I was one of the volunteer organisers of the Yandina Street Fair and am proud to say that I built the performance stages from two to five during those years, booking many regional musos and, for many young bands or solo performers, our event was the first time they had ever performed in public.

I started the Sunshine Coast International Readers and Writers Festival in 2016, the Sunshine Coast Poetry Slam Championships in 2017 (as part of Queensland Poetry Festival) and the regular fortnightly Words@play open-mic poetry nights in 2018. I have now passed these great events on to new custodians who will do them proud.

I also have a passion for amateur theatre and have acted, directed, written, stage managed, painted sets, made cups of tea, set up tables and ushered punters in for decades.

Growing up on the cane farm, my folks only had Gilbert and Sullivan records – and Reader’s Digest collections. Then young Uncle Geoff came to visit and left his modern album by a band called The Seekers. What a mind changer! Even though my Dad, Bill, was a gifted piano player in his youth, we never had musical instruments in the house until I was 13 and finally got the guitar I had sulked about for a good six months. The very month that I left for university, my mum, Beryl, was excited to get delivery of a piano – and she promptly signed up for lessons. As a sole parent, I grew my boys (now amazing young men) with a house full of instruments – guitars, a pink ukulele, a really cool drum kit (with my grandma’s feather pillow stuffed inside the big drum), a keyboard and heaps of percussion stuff.

I wrote my first poem when I was four, according to family folklore, and was first published in The Sunday-Mail when I was 10 with my poem called “The Eremite”.

So I love writing, I love stories, I love music and lyrics and I love promoting our regional writers – especially our young ones. I too, have many stories to tell having interviewed hundreds of regional characters over the years and I would love to share these local history tidbits with you.

My “Words at Play with Wendyoh” show profiles regional singer-songwriters, performance poets, authors and scriptwriters plus info on great events and gigs across this region. So tune in to Words at Play with Wendyoh – because words - sing!

THIS VELVET TOUCH: Wednesday 8 pm - 10 pm

Adam discovered Noosa in the 90's and finally made the move in 2015. He’s mad about music, vinyl records, coffee, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, psychology, and his family.

Tune in to This Velvet Moment with Adam on Wednesdays from 8pm for new releases and a focus on this year’s music.

IN THE BUBBLE: Tuesday 6 pm - 8 pm

Hi! I am Charlie AKA Lisa Charlwood.

A Queenslander, born and raised.  My love for music, theatre and dance stems back to when I was a little girl participating in dance for most of my childhood.  In my late teens my Mother and I belonged to the local amateur theatre group in Beenliegh where we both performed in many Musicals and Plays.

In 2010 I decided to move my four little cubs and myself to the Sunny Coast to be closer to my immediate family, and start a fresh.

It was only months later I discovered the Peregian Originals and it is this little hotspot in the park where I found a network of like-minded friends.  From this moment onward, the love of local music, venues and artists began to rapidly escalate.  

Fast forward to present day… and closet dream finally coming into fruition –
Now a Presenter on Local Community Radio.  NOOSA FM!

My mission as a Presenter for NOOSA FM 101.3 is to share some of our local and global new talent, banter, and take the music and tune of the theme, one program at a time, allowing for expansion and limiting restrictions…

I look forward to growing as a new part of the NOOSA FM family, and sharing with my local and global community of like-minded listeners.
