One of the great things about Radiothon at 98.5 Sonshine FM each year is getting to chat to the many visitors who drop in. Those visitors range from regular listeners who take advantage of the opportunity to visit the radio station and tour our studios through to polititians, sporting personalities and representatives from other media organisations.
As I mentioned a few posts back, this year we planned morning teas for some regular morning programme listeners. So far so good with the third of the four morning teas held this morning. I’ll get to meet some more listeners tomorrow morning at our final morning tea.
Over the past week I’ve had the pleasure of chatting on-air to people like Monica Kos from Channel 7’s Today Tonight, Channel 7 news presenter, Rick Ardon, Channel 9 news presenter, Dixie Marshall, Leader of the Opposition in Western Australia, Paul Omodei, Paul Entwistle from Postcards WA on Channel 9, CEO of Gloria Jean’s Coffee worldwide, Peter Irvine as well as my regular morning programme guests.
A real delight was catching up with my regular Wednesday guest, Rev Dr Ross Clifford, (interesting to see that his extensive Wikipedia entry mentions our regular chats) who paid Western Australia a flying visit last week. Ross flew home early Saturday afternoon but managed to squeeze in a visit to our studios on Saturday morning. Even though we’ve been chatting on-air, via phone, each week for a couple of years, this was the first time we’d met face to face. The picture in this post shows Ross (centre) towering over me (left) and 98.5 Sonshine FM Breakfast Announcer and Programme Director, Arthur Muhl (right). Ross is the Principal of Morling Theological College in New South Wales and is currently the National President of Baptist Union of Australia. It was great to be able to sit together in the same studio and spend a bit of time together. Ross is a very clever guy and it’s always a pleasure to talk to him.
