My New Café

I’m starting a new venture tomorrow. I’m creating my own café.

I’ve been on annual leave from my job at 98.5 Sonshine FM for a couple of weeks but tomorrow I’ll return with a re-branded morning program. What used to simply be called ‘mornings’ will become the Morning Café. It’ll be a mixture of good friends and great conversation, just what your favourite café should be. The strangest part of the whole café experience in this case is that you’ll have to provide your own coffee or beverage of choice. I’m sure to be sipping on a long black throughout the morning.

From nine to midday, Monday to Friday, it’ll be a place to talk food, footy, leadership, relationships, spirituality, fitness and health, technology and a whole lot more including national and international guests.

Many of my regular guests will remain as part of the Morning Café but there’ll also be a range of new segments which really excite me. I’ll reveal more as the days and weeks go on but it will certainly be a much busier program with plenty of ways for listeners to get involved.

If you’re in the Perth area you can listen in by tuning to 98.5 Sonshine FM. If you’re anywhere else in the world you can hear the Morning Café streaming live online. You can check what day and time you need to listen by going to timeanddate.com and searching for Perth, Western Australia. If that means that it’s in the middle of the night for you, you’ll still be able to listen to many of the Morning Café segments by visiting the Audio on Demand page at 98.5 Sonshine FM’s website.

What kind of radio programs do you enjoy? Who would you like to hear me interview? I’d really enjoy reading your comments.

  • Hi Rodney, I have Sonshine on my preset on my Blackberry Tune-In app. Listening to you all the way from Malaysia!! 🙂 God bless and have fun on your new morning show!

  • Sounds interesting!
    Frankly over here… radio is crap. I haven´t found a station worth listening to. It´s the same music over and over and the same dumb… nonsense. People calling to greet, people calling revealing where speed-cameras are in use…. Either that or informative but presentated in an oh-so-boring way that you are afraid to fall asleep – not good when driving the car.
    And oh, those stupid ads.
    I hate (German) radio, but will listen to your new program 🙂

    What channel do I pick, Morning Interviews or Breakfast?
