reasoning it’s important to promote
sustainability but also equally im-
portant to present an interesting, in-
formative and entertaining radio show.
Robert said they’ve already had some
very positive feedback from people in
the Southland community. The couple
include weekly information for seasonal
recipes, local organic farmers markets,
seed restoration and tips on gardening.
Interviews with local farmers and
breeders of livestock and horticultural
producers are also featured on the
show. Robyn and Robert said they’re
always open to suggestions from lis-
teners about want ‘they’ would like to
hear on the show. “Get Down to
Earth” goes to air Mondays at
9.30am.® Saturdays 10.30am.
Robyn and Robert Guyton are the
hosts of “Get Down to Earth” an excit-
ing new edition to the station’s current
broadcasts. The husband and wife
team present a weekly half hour show
that focuses on all aspects of the envi-
ronment. Robyn, a part-time teacher
is also employed as the education and
project coordinator at the South Coast
Environment Centre which is based in
Riverton. The Centre promotes seed
restoration projects, sustainable life-
styles and growing methods and has
an abundance of resources available
from the extensive library and infor-
mation resources. Robert, a writer for
the NZ Gardener Magazine and an En-
vironment Southland Councilor, is
keen to get the right mix for the show,

‘Southland Sixties Sensations’ Tuesdays at 12.30 noon
‘Invers-Originals’ with host, Jay Sellwood Thursdays at 8pm
‘Southern Story Tellers Corner’ Sundays at 9pm
The Southern Story Tellers
Group are purveyors of the au-
ral tradition of story telling as it
has come down through the ag-
es. Story telling is an art form
that is perfect for radio, images
are created in the mind by the
use of colorful and creative tales
and clever inflection of the tell-
ers voice. Members of the group
are absolutely passionate about
their craft. During their half
hour show, you can hear stories
from local authors and stories
created by the members them-
selves as well as tales from au-
thors visiting from overseas. It’s
well worth a listen.
Jay Sellwood has no illusions
about how tough it can be for
local talent to get their music
and name heard, that’s why he
started up his radio show
“InversOriginals” - to help
struggling artists promote their
music and to allow the public to
hear them. Jay’s enthusiastic
and lively broadcast style has
become legend amongst his lis-
tening audience; they tune in
weekly to hear well-known or
new Southland bands and art-
ists, showcase their own special
brand of music. Jay also likes to
provide interesting background
information about the artists
and their songs. InversOriginals
is 100% live and local.
With his hair almost matching the microphone padding! Jay get’s ready to
present “InversOriginals” to help support and promote local musicians

Introducing: SCBCT Board Member, Sean Woodward
“Country Express & Southern first play” with Noel Parry
In his professional legal career at
Preston Russell Law, Sean Wood-
ward has an extensive back-
ground in governance. As a com-
mercial lawyer, he understands
the importance of the employees,
the programme makers, and the
funders of an Access radio station.
Sean represents the Southland
Chamber of Commerce on the
trust board. Sean also under-
stands the requirements of an ac-
cess station’s 36c charter and the
unique community element it sup-
ports. Sean has a passion for
youth issues and has been in-
volved in ‘Polyfest’ and the Teen
Parenting Unit. He would like to
see more youth programming
broadcasting on 96.4FM in 2013.
Country presenter, Noel Parry in full country music regalia, during a
broadcast of the popular show Country Express, Wednesdays at 2.30pm.

involvement with the Southland Community Broadcasters Charitable
Trust Board.
“Country Express” on-air for near-
ly nine years is the second long-
est running show in Radio South-
land’s programme line-up. Noel
Parry’s other country show
“Southern first play” on Thurs-
days at 9.30am is a close runner
up. On Wednesday’s show Noel
plays traditional country music,
but on Thursday many of the art-
ists are having their songs played
for the first time— hence the
name! Noel receives emails from
the artists and his listeners from
the USA and other parts of the
world. He regularly posts on Face-
book and reads out the latest in
country club news with an in-
formative weekly noticeboard.

It’s a time of change—but change is
nothing to be afraid of. We farewell
Station Coordinator Deborah Smith
after 15 years of loyal service to Radio
Southland and she goes with our deep-
est gratitude for all she has done. Not
only has Deborah provided the wel-
come for our visitors, been the go-to
person for our programme makers, run
our office and been a programme con-
tributor; but she has also kept the sta-
tion going on many occasions, and
been an invaluable support to me since
I came on board as manager. From us
all—thank you Deborah, and all success
to you in the future.
There will be a new face in our office
from mid-November. I am delighted to
confirm Amanda Kennedy as our new
Station Coordinator. She comes with a
strong administrative background, par-
ticularly in recruitment, and is excited
to have the opportunity to join our staff
and volunteers.
While on the subject of our website,
many thanks to all who have contribut-
ed their piece to it. We enabled our
updated website on October 1st. It has
a cleaner look, more functionality,
great opportunities to access the live
Stream (on every page), podcasts in
alphabetical order (fancy), a groovy
welcome video, profiles on our pro-
gramme makers, a photo gallery, and
an opportunity for those visiting the
website to share items of interest on
various social media. Many thanks to
Mike Sanford of Invers.co.nz for his
work, supported by Kim and Deborah,
and to Joshua Dean from Jobit.co.nz for
his help in making it go live.
As always, we welcome our new pro-
gramme makers (some featured in this
edition), and congratulate those who
made the trip north to the ACAB Con-
ference in Dunedin just recently. The
strong Southland presence was appre-
ciated by our Otago cousins. Next year
the conference will be in Nelson.
It’s been a busy year with a real mix of
highs and lows—but we produce real
radio with passion, and each day I’m
grateful to have the opportunity to
work with you all. I have no doubt that
2013 will have its challenges, but I in-
tend to have fun and I invite you to as
well, and encourage others to come
and join us please.
Have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
Darren
Merry
Christmas &
