FRIDAY DRIVE: 4 pm - 6 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: Monday 2 pm - 4 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

"IT'S ALL TALK": Monday 9 AM - 12 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 “It;s All Talk"  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 "It's All Talk" with Wendyoh.

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 am enjoying being part of the NOOSA FM family, and sharing with my local and global community of like-minded listeners.

"FRIDAY DRIVE" with Jethro: Friday 4 pm - 6 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 "Friday Drive" show 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.

Rumble With Debris: Monday 6 pm - 8 pm

Debriś has been an alternate music fan and has spent a great deal of time in Melbourne since the 80’s seeing live bands and watching their influence on the new bands of today both locally and globally. You will hear music from the influencers and those they in turn influenced.

You will hear new and old music from punk through to electronica, grunge, funk and rock. You will also hear new music from Melbourne’s amazing live music scene.

So don’t spend your half life alone, tune in to 'RadioActive' every Friday night, 6 - 8pm
and get carbon dated with #loca_lola and #debris_everywhere on NOOSA FM 101.3.

THE CAPTAIN'S BLEEDIN' BRAIN & JULIA :  Friday 9 PM - 12 am

With it's origins in Punk, this show highlights alternative and independent music from the 70s, 80s and 90s, including a selection of current releases.

If you like commercial music, this show is not for you. Most songs may contain confronting subject matter. You will hear artists such as GG Allin, Marilyn Manson, Nick Cave and Cosmic Psychos etc.

These shows will also promote, lets' say, a diverse selection of local talent along with some interesting interviews and commentary coming your way.

WARNING: contains coarse language. Not suitable for children or sensitive adults.

ULTRA CULCHA: Friday 9 am – 12 pm
GIN ON THE DECK - Sunday 4 pm - 8 pm

With a father who was trumpeter & a radio twiddler (and an expert at playing the spoons and the comb). And a Grandmother who was an opera singer and swing time piano player at the local village pub there was no other direction for me to follow but music and theatre.

As a child I would sit with my father in his workshop and we would play with his old bakerlite radio which had short wave on it and we could listen to radio from all over the world. I thought it amazing as a 12 year old that we could hear live music being played from thousands of miles away through the power of the air waves. This began my love of radio.

I became involved in community radio when I moved to the Blue Mountains in the early 90’s and was involved in the station for many years. I presented “Berrocka Brunch” every Saturday for a decade and I loved every note of it. This led me into community festivals and other wonderful performing genres that live on the edge of the arts sphere.

THE WAVE: From late til light and 7 nights a week:
SATURDAY "SPOTLIGHT" with Noosa FM : Saturday 5 pm - 9 pm


Music from the tranny to the sound cloud is the selection on THE WAVE, the new revamped NOOSA FM overnight program. Much has changed technically over the years but the one beautiful constant in everyone's lives remains - the magic of music. THE WAVE is blended to evoke the senses of your wonderful memories; the sights, sounds, scents and feelings of your very personal space in time. Music is constantly being updated and refreshed. You'll hear recent releases from old favourites and our world class Sunshine Coast artists and bands; another very important community objective of THE WAVE.

Most of my working life was spent promoting the visual arts by day and the performing arts at night and weekends. A love for community radio grew from several years as an on-air presenter and producer on Perth radio. Now I have the best job in the world; caring for the extensive music library at NOOSA FM, built and maintained by the dedicated volunteers at the station since its inception.

I'm privileged and proud to extend the commitment to good music, variety and entertainment from our very talented day/night presenters into the wee small hours and hope you'll join us on THE WAVE, all night, every night on your wavelength 101.3.

WEDNESDAY DRIVE: Wednesday 4 pm - 6 pm

I have been a resident of Noosa since 2012 and my passion is music of all genres. After growing up with the music of the 60s I have moved though the ages of rock and pop  and particularly a  love of Aussie music.  So after many years of enjoying great music though all mediums including live concerts I am now able to share my experiences with the Noosa Community on NOOSA FM.

This is my third year at NOOSA FM and I have been lucky to have been able to present in various programs throughout this time including Breakfast mornings and afternoons.

So please join me every Wednesday from 4 - 6pm for 'Wednesday Drive'.  A great mix of smooth grooves and popular music news and events and traffic reports to get you home safe.

And then a little later in the even why not join me again for a great selection of 'World Music Collection' from 8 - 10pm.

PET-PURRI: Wednesday 2 pm - 4 pm

"What would our world be without animals and pets? Thank God for them."

I have been with NOOSA FM since early 2016, starting at reception getting to know our Community Station's ins and outs and all the great people. In May 2017, I undertook at 3 months training to became a presenter with NOOSA FM.

With Pet-Purri, I bring you great music, and of course, we talk dogs and all things pet. Dogs are a big part of our society and in our families and homes. Whether as companion, servicing as assistant dog for special needs persons, for sick or lonely people, as rescue, guarding or sniffer dogs. There is so many areas where we employ dogs nowadays. No other being has put up with us for so many thousands of years developing relentlessly into servicing our requirements.

I like to bring community issues around dogs to our attention as well as introducing breeds, handling, feeding and exercising our loyal friends.

There are many community based charities and organizations that care about dogs and their owners, my program introduces them to you and will keep you up-to-date with their doings.  And of course, I will talk about cats, birds and other animals, our dogs friends in our homes and environment.

Lost your pet? Call us we can put a search on-air...
 
Write to me about your pet by sending an email to reception@noosafm.org. I am looking forward hearing from you and all about your pets.

TUESDAY DRIVE: Tuesday 4 PM - 6 PM:

Mike & Megan Breid began presenting at NOOSA FM in October of 2014. They each had their own show – 'The Captain', Sailing Through the Years, and 'Nutmeg', Tonic for your Brain, for several programming blocks. The Programming committee then suggested that they join forces for a breakfast show and the rest – as they say – is history. M'n'Ms for Breakfast was born and the two found they really enjoy working together. So much so that they are now on to their second and current morning show, 'Breakfast with M'n'M'.

Having had a bit of a break to star in several movies they are back from May 2021.  M&M will accompany you home during Tuesday Drive Time.  Bringing entertainment and an eclectic mix of music with commentary and a little bit of mayhem thrown in for good measure.

MONDAY DRIVE: Monday 4 pm - 6 pm
​
​Born in Munich, Germany, I have lived in Sydney for 55 years before moving to Noosaville in 2015 with my wife to be near family.

I have been retired from the Graphic Arts/Printing Industry for some years now.
My lifelong love of music, in particular Blues and Jazz, prompted me to undergo the Presenter’s Course at NOOSA FM.

My lack of any great talent as a musician (I do dabble in guitar!) allows me to at least play and share my vast collection of CDs with an audience (I hope).
​
My show consists of Jazz, Blues, Rock, Soul and R&B, although not necessarily restricted to those genres in a pure sense.

JUST ROCK ON: Thursday 6 pm - 8 pm

Growing up in a multicultural environment and living 500 metres from the EMI Recording Studio in Brookvale NSW, I was lucky enough to have the interesting company over a milk shake at the local milk bar. Rock, Pop, Blues, Folk, Opera, every type of artist was there. My twin brothers and I started a band when we were teenagers called ‘Milk Shake’ doing covers.
 
Music has always been a part of my life. My father could pick up and follow like a pro with any instrument. One day he shook the house with a great blues track by Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. That’s when I feel in love with the Blues & Roots.

From 1994 till 2006 I was a member of NOOSA FM; from 1996 till 2006. During that time became a Cert III Tutor for NOOSA FM & CBAA. At the same time I was working in the Education Dept of Queensland as a school counsellor as Behavioural Consultant. During that time I had the pleasure of introducing ‘school radio’ to four high schools on the Sunshine Coast. Bringing the music to the community and sharing the classics and ground breaking songs.

Promoting Australian artists with live interviews with a mix of sassy electric thrilling slicks, horn and string bends with the finesse of a woman’s touch.

I have an ‘open door policy’ on my program to all musical artists, so tune in and enjoy.
