Radio Days
Radio Shows
Each Saturday I appear on two radio shows:
-
Goldfields FM (99.1 FM) which broadcasts from Maryborough in the Victorian Central Highlands. The range of the station covers the Shire of Central Goldfields: a radius of some 30 km. This show is broadcast from 10 to 11 on Saturday mornings.
-
EasyMix Radio Ten-71 (1071 AM and 98.3 FM in Bendigo) which broadcasts from Bendigo over a range of some 200 km. This show is broadcast around 8:10 on Saturday mornings.
Both of these shows are streamed live on the web. Click on the link above to go to the station's web site and from there choose to listen online.
.pdf files
Please click on one of the dates below to download a summary of my radio show for that day as a .pdf document. The summary also contains the website address of all the programs (both free and full versions) which I mentioned on that show.
.pdf (Portable Document Format) documents are a standard way of distributing information over the internet. You will need to download and install a free .pdf reader if you do not already have one on your computer. Most computers do have one, but the standard one is not my preferred option. My preferred option is a free program called Foxit Reader. Download this program then install it so that you can read the files on this page quickly and easily.
Checking these sheets
Please remember that, in the computer world, information can become outdated quite quickly. These summary documents were correct when I created them but can become outdated almost before you can blink. For this reason, if you see a later summary with the same or a similar topic, please use the later one as it will be more up-to-date.
