The 2026 Radio Mansfield Scholarship Program is open for anyone 10 to 20 years old, living in our broadcast area.
Radio Mansfield is a volunteer run community radio station.
This means every presenter featured here over the last few months (including those not yet featured, and others working behind the scenes) is one of our fabulous volunteers.
Radio Mansfield would like to extend a huge thank you to our volunteers – we couldn’t be prouder of the contribution each and every one makes to ensuring we stay on air. We certainly could not do it without their commitment and enthusiasm.
If you are interested in volunteering with us (either on air or off air), please head to the “get involved” page for further information. We would love to hear from you.

Having been on air for just over six months, Simone Boyd loves the fact that music has the power to elicit memories of people, places and events. She feels it is a privilege to be able to transport listeners back to the fabulous 1980’s.
So Simone, if you could only play one artist during your program, who would it be and why?
It would definitely be a toss up between INXS and Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen’s songs are rich in rhythm and emotion, and he is such a gifted story teller. However, in the end, I think INXS would win the battle. A classic Australian band whose music is truly timeless. Having seen them in concert at Festival Hall as a teenager; their energy, talent and charisma is second to none.
You can listen to Simone every Tuesday afternoon from 4pm – 6pm as she presents her program “Big hair and leg warmers with a twist”.

Meet the passionate Blue’s devotee Geoff Pitt – one half of the team who bring you “Greg Wilder’s The Long Road” every Tuesday afternoon between 1pm and 4pm. Geoff joined Radio Mansfield in January 2023, out of a desire to keep the late Greg Wilder’s legacy alive.

Tell us Geoff, if you could invite three artists (dead or alive) to a BBQ, who would they be and why?
1. Walter Trout – he has been playing the Blues for 56 years!
2. Mark Knofler – his music (Dire Straits) was my saviour during the 80’s. Also, he hails from NE England.
3. Ian Gillian – Lead singer of Deep Purple to ask him how he screams in key.

Introducing the lovely Liz Duncan – presenter of our Thursday afternoon program “Anything goes”. Whilst Liz describes herself as a “novice” to the radio game, having been on air just shy of 12 months, her program offers such diversity in music (and is always a bit of fun too). We hope she will continue to grace our air waves for many years to come.
Tell us Liz, what was the first concert you attended?
This was not a concert but as a 14 years old I thought it was better – ‘wagged’ school with a classmate and took the train to Melbourne to see the Bay City Rollers on their hotel balcony. We were all on the news that night!
Tune in to Liz Duncan and her program “Anything Goes” every Thursday afternoon from 2pm to 4pm. You’ll be entertained with a selection of great music, episodes of favourites such as that feathered crime fighter “Chicken Man” and “Frivolous Fun Facts” each week. Need more? In conjunction with the Mansfield Courier and sponsored by Bertallis Bakery, the winner of the birthday wheel will also be announced during the show. A fun filled program not to be missed.

Introducing the fabulous Ian Todd! Ian has been gracing our air waves for about 4 years, with his unmistakable voice which is just made for radio and his enthusiasm for all things music.
Tell us Ian, what was the first album you ever bought?
I bought an introductory offer of 6 albums from the World Record Club. They were:
James Taylor – “Mud slide slim and the blue horizon”
Black Sabbath – “Masters of reality”
Emerson, Lake and Palmer – “Tarkus”
Santana – “Abraxas”
Pacific Gas and Electric – “PG&E”
The Doors – “LA Woman”
Pretty impressive that Ian is able remember all six albums and their titles! Sounds like a great way to have started off the ‘soundtrack to (your) life”…
Tune in to hear Ian Todd and his program “The Soundtrack of my Life” every Thursday afternoon from 4pm – 6pm.
Ian showcases music from the 50’s to the present, plucked from the old grey matter. An eclectic mix of pop, rock, blues, jazz, classical and musical theatre. From the well-known to the obscure, there’s something for everyone. And each 4th Thursday of the month, he features 2 complete albums from the same source of inspiration.
Definitely a show not to be missed!

Another seasoned professional, Kathy has been on air with Radio Mansfield for more than 20 years and is still playing music from the 70’s and 80’s (the best). She is motivated to keep presenting knowing that people love her music. Yes Kathy, we surely do!
So Kathy, what was the first concert you attended?
Rock Arena in 1977, at the Calder Raceway. Fleetwood Mac, Little River Band and Santana performed. An intimate gathering of just 43, 000 people and me.
You can listen to Kathy every Tuesday evening from 6pm – 8pm with her program “A box of chocolates” and every Wednesday afternoon from 3pm – 5pm with “The Kathy O Show”, every Thursday morning from 7am – 9am with “Thursday Throw Back”. What an absolute legend!
