"Monday Megaphone" with Jethro: Monday 9 am - 12 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.

ULTRA CULCHA: Friday 9 am – 12 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   7 - 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

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.

So please join me every Wednesday from 4 - 6pm for 'Wednesday Drive'.  A great mix of smooth grooves and popular music with an emphasis on new Australian music and local artists, news and events and traffic reports to get you home safe.

If you are a local artist and you would like to get airplay send me your MP3 music file and some information about you and we will check it to be considered on my playlist.

And you can join me at other programs and other times on occasions too.

Hosting: ENVIRO AND SCIENCE WAVE: Thursday 9 am - 12pm

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.

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.

MAMBO CAFE & JUICE BAR: Monday 2 - 4 pm

​
I'm an Australian born Latina and dance was my first language!

Combining her culture and love of Latin music with her street Latin dance teaching experience Maria presents the Mambo Cafe - A cocktail of Latin sounds.

In the Juice Bar Maria bring relationship insights drawing from books, articles, poems, current affairs and her experience as a relationship counsellor.   
 
Hopefully something to take away!

TUESDAY JAZZ: Tuesday 12 pm - 2 pm

John has been a weekend resident of Noosa since 1985 and now lives here permanently. He’s always had a love of jazz music and with his radio and television background it was an obvious move to join the ranks of NOOSA FM.

He’s spent the past 44 years working in broadcast media, starting in radio with the Colour Radio Network through Queensland and 4BK and 4KQ in Brisbane. In 1980 he joined the Nine network taking on his best known role as weather man.

He moved to the Seven network in 2007 retiring from full time duties last year.

His program 'Tuesday Jazz' covers a wide range of styles with most of the music sourced from the fifties through to the latest releases. Because jazz is such a diverse complex genre of music, John likes to keep it user friendly, hopefully bringing new listeners to the station.

MID WEEK: Wednesday 9 am - 12 pm

The program first appeared on NOOSA FM in July 2012 with an hour in the Breakfast time slot, and another in the Magazine slot, providing a wake-up pace between 8 and 9 am, followed by a more relaxed tone from 9 to 10 am featuring commentary, music, interviews and humour, with News and Weather reports.

In the Tyler family, Len’s older brother was involved in theatre as a producer, Director, Adjudicator and Actor, and his younger brother worked in Radio and Television, both On-Air and in Management, so it was hardly surprising that when the very young Leonard came home from school he could barely wait to turn on the Radio.

Later as a young adult, he worked in Radio in Papua New Guinea and Tasmania before changing to a corporate career in the Information and Communications Technology industry.

Len’s interests have always been diverse and also include computers, photography, music, broadcasting, boating, politics, travel, theatre, the environment and reading.

NOOSA FM always been the perfect conduit for Len to expand on those interests amidst the myriad of diversity and talent that contributes to such fascinating Radio listening for all Noosans.

You are warmly invited to join Len for 'Mid Week' on NOOSA FM.

MUSICOLOGY: Saturday 2  - 4 pm

Long time collector of tunes from the  1960's through to present day, I am always looking for the next emerging artist across a wide spectrum of genres and styles. For me the vocal and lyrics are the focus, looking for character and originality. I am finding that the more mellow side of my collection gets the most airplay though I still love edgy rock and blues when in the right mood.

My show 'Musicology' ranges through a diverse and select collection of tunes across the years and genres mixing up folk, jazz, reggae, rock, blues, soul and pop. The focus tends to be contemporary and international, but home grown talent and blasts from the past always gets some airplay as do good cover versions. I am a huge fan of the Byron Bay Bluesfest with many past and present performers on my playlist.

DIGGIN' WITH DOUG: Friday 2 pm - 4 pm

Hey there, I came to OZ from Scotland way back on a professional soccer contract then later "took to the "skies" , flying with Qantas, Canadian and British Airlines taking me round the world to be followed by 9 more great years of world travel with Adnan Khashoggi on his luxury yachts and private aircraft. Having fronted my own Rock and Roll band earlier, I would jump up on stage and sing whenever I could in many different places.

Later after turning down two offers to work for Ozzie Tycoon Kerry Packer, I came to Noosa and NOOSA FM where, I have been doing my 'Diggin with Doug' Show, contentiously  for the last 20 years, 2 pm - 4 pm every Friday.  Music to 'Jump 'n' Jive' to help you come alive and get ready for the weekend. Original Rock 'n' Roll and Soul, Rhythm 'n' Blues and much much more, with a bit of fun on the side.

Enjoy and thanks for listening.

JAZZ PLUS: Wednesday 12 pm - 2 pm (Alternate)
