Host of Now Spinning...
Nathan hosts Now Spinning… every Thursday 4pm-6pm.
Tell us all about your show
I will predominately focus on new releases and give one brief record review each show. I will also talk about current music trends and also talk about other arts such as books, movies, other forms of art & local happenings.
My knowledge of lots of different styles/genres of music will have me rambling on about all the tracks and try to play as much styles which listeners can also find accessible.
I will try my best to take as many requests that I can fit in with the very eclectic music I plan to plan each week.
As I get a little more practice getting the show all together, I can definitely see myself reaching out to local musicians and different kinds of artists for a chat, in studio or by phone.
Tell us about yourself
Sunbury local for many years, and love getting out to live gigs and to see up and coming artists. I enjoy ready literature and non-fiction. Mostly philosophy, sciences, and selective history these days.
I enjoy being outside gardening, skating and a nice strong coffee with a book, and follow the Phoenix Suns in the NBA & an ALF enthusiast, bias towards the mighty Collingwood Magpies!
