Our Story

Every Wednesday from 1pm to 3pm join me for 2 hours of a extraordinary variety. Drama, comedy, fantasy, science fiction a little horror, local community stories and a touch of poetry. There is always music usually what I call “Our Sounds” the brilliant music of this region. We regularly drift back to Old Time Radio Shows harping back to the days when families and friends crowded around the radio to share precious time and tune into their favourite show. I am constantly on the search for the very best radio entertainment New serials and series, fascinating Docos and the quality Podcasts. An variety fun filled 2hrs of entertainment we call “Theatre of the mind”. Please note there maybe subjects that some find confronting or difficult to hear, nothing is meant is to offend or upset and nothing is driven by personal ideology ATW is all about exploring the world of story telling and radio entertainment.
