As the 2018 Captains Ride came to an end, we had a visit from Harley Medcalf in the studio to talk about the adventures and fundraising work done by the volunteers and supporters of this amazing yearly event.

We ran our listener survey from 28th August 2018 to 2nd October 2018 as part of an initiative developed by the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) and McNair yellowSquares. The results of the survey will assist us in continuing to be the best possible station we can be, in service of our valued community.

Happy Birthday to us!!!  Alpine Radio officially had it's 15th birthday on the 23rd August 2018 - our first broadcast was on 23rd August 2003.

What a huge month - and Glenn Spencer celebrated a terrific milestone on Wednesday 22nd August with his 350th edition of "Rock n Blues".   During the 8 years since he started presenting, Glenn spent (or mis-spent) 2100 hours on air, played approx 21,775 songs, 262 feature albums played in full and 121 feature songs.  And that doesn’t count the preparation time!  Now Glenn’s eating habits on a Wednesday night are NOT the healthiest… for example he has consumed 1,050 Choccy bars including 250 double dip Cherry Ripes, plus 350 stubbies of ginger beer and 700 cups of tea using 1,400 tea bags consumed.  It's not true that the Treasurer wants to bill him for the tea bags!! :-)

Had a fantastic time at Harrietville Bush Markets on Easter Sunday 1st April.  The two Helens presented great music and information, lots of stallholders were there, beautiful weather, thanks to Ken, Nick, Rebecca, and the two Helens (McDougall and Braidwood) - and the organisers of the market.  We had coffee, food and it was a terrific day in Harrietville.
