How long have you been with RTRFM?
First broadcast August of 2004. Board Member since May 2005

What do you enjoy most about presenting?
Giving something back to the Community, and hopefully, when presenting the words and the music, passing to the listeners some of the passion that I feel for Jazz.

Strangest experience at RTRFM?
When I was sitting the desk, and the cleaner exploded into Studio A, with his vacuum machine screaming like a banshee

Favourite RTRFM programs?
