Show Description

Presenter Bio
John developed an appreciation for music of the 1930’s and 40’s at an early age and started collecting 78rpm discs at around 12 years old. Following a visit to a local outside broadcast for his local radio station in 1963, he was amazed to see the producer spinning in recorded radio commercials on 78rpm discs and transcribed radio programs on 16” radio transcriptions.
In 1988 John first became associated with RPP FM and helped producers and presenters until he got his break and started his own nostalgia program ‘Thursday Afternoon Matinee’ that later became known as ‘Radio as it Used to Sound’.
All up John has presented in excess of 3,000 hours of radio for RPP FM and he hopes to continue this for a few years yet.
