It’s about the Rolling Stones, 3XY, EON FM, 3DB, 4IP, rock festivals, crazy interviews, career highs, personal lows …….and a whole lot more. It’s Mike Nicholls Part 2.  Enjoy!

To recall the radio journey of Mike Nicholls, we need to go back …. right back before he was born, to appreciate his childhood, the family environment he grew up in, the status of his parents in showbiz and how he was destined to have an incredible career in radio. It’s Mike Nicholls Part 1. Enjoy!

If you lived down the east coast of Australia in the 70’s, 80’s or 90’s, the name will no doubt be familiar. He plied his trade at 23 radio stations across  N.S.W., A.C.T, Victoria and Queensland in both capital cities and regional hubs. He is Frank Fursey. Enjoy!

If you’ve grow up in Adelaide loving the music of the 60s, 70s and 80s, then you’ve probably grown up with the great John Dean. 5KA, 5AD, SAFM, Mix 102.3 and Cruise 1323, John's been there for the long haul and done it very well! Enjoy!

She is ‘the better half’ of one of the most endearing radio duos to grace the Melbourne airwaves. Whether on AM or FM, breakfast or afternoons, presenting a music formal or talkback, Diane Dunleavy has a diverse wealth of broadcasting experience spanning over 37 years that has been appreciated and acknowledged by (almost!) everyone!  Enjoy!

He listened to radio stations, won prizes on radio stations, worked at a number of radio stations….then created his own radio station! To some, he’s known as Hans Kristian, but to most it’s Hans Torv.  Enjoy!  

He enjoyed 50 great years in the industry, across 4 states, presenting a number of different formats as Superjock, Locko or simply Mike O’Loughlin. A man with many diverse strings to his bow.... and a story for them all. Enjoy!
