Volunteers
We have some amazing volunteers working with us here at Life FM. Some of them you’ll know from on-air, others work behind the scenes. Here’s a short run-down on the people you’re most likely to hear, see, or talk to on the phones during the work week. Make sure you say hi if you see them in town!
Daz is studying Media & Journalism, and is currently the Takeover’s longest running member, having joined since early 2018!
If you’ve heard Daz before, you probably know that he’s a big fan of KFC (especially the Original Tenders Box), and often shares all about his kentucky fried experiences on air!
When Daz isn’t on air talking about KFC or what’s trending on YouTube, he’s either binge-watching Survivor or live-streaming his own gaming content on Twitch!

Hello there!
Oli studied Marketing at the University of South Australia and has been a long standing metal head since hearing the soothing tunes of Linkin Park on Toonami many years ago……
When not on air with Maz and the Team or hosting Amped on Monday nights, Oli preoccupies himself with movies and popular culture. Other times, he’s painting or sitting back and listening to an album…… over a glass of milk of course.
“I drink milk and I know things”

Music is an important part of my life and I have been playing flute for 8 years as well as bass guitar. I’ve also been doing external studies at the Adelaide Audio Institute for Audio Engineering and Music Production. I’m a massive Essendon fan and love Taylor Swift’s music
Andrew is married to Karen and between them they have 3 children: Tom, Amy and Jack. They have an amazing dog named Gypsy. They attend Gateway Baptist Church and are heavily involved in the Port District Football Club. Andrew is the Junior President, Karen and Andrew are Sports Chaplains and Jack is a player.
Having been Pastors for 50 years, Paul and Laureen love working together to help people to enjoy a fulfilling life. Their life has included many different experiences, all adding to their message. They also love to have fun and banter, because, “Laughter is good medicine”. Sunday Night Talk is a major highlight of their week. Their goal on SNT is to present current affairs from an ethical perspective through a wide variety of topics.
Holly has recently joined the takeover team and has been loving it ever since! She spends most of her time dancing, youth leading, and baking! She adores Jesus, dogs, sushi and pretty sunsets.
You will find me most Monday mornings at 11 out and about with the Roadies, this is a great privilege, we meet the listeners and hear their stories of how the station has helped them through the good and bad days.. You will also occasionally hear me on the Pomfus and Jodie program Saturdays.
I was an original volunteer for Alta Mira, way back in the day..
I am now retired and have a busy time helping with grandchildren and volunteering with Kairos Outside, a branch of Kairos Prison Ministry Australia, I am also the choir trainer at my local primary School for the Festival of Music and I also sing with Illumina Voices.Then of course I have church commitments too.
