| | Do you want to be a radio presenter?
5mbs is Adelaide's leading jazz and blues station and has 2 River Blues shows a week, Friday and Saturday nights with a team now, of 6 presenters. One of the team has left so they would like to find someone who might like to present a program once a month. Each presenter has their own take on it. No experience necessary, just a knowledge and a love of the blues. Some of the team pre-record our programs so you don't even have to be at the station! They are a friendly bunch willing to help anyone who puts their hand up! If interested email Sister T @ sistertss@gmail.com | | | www.SABLUES.org
Roots and Blues Podcasts | Jerome Douvendahns from www.SABLUES.org presents 2 podcasts each month:
