A Big Thank You
Finally, we’d like to give a heartfelt thank you to our presenters who will be stepping away from their shows for the time being:
James Clayton – Unheard Of
James Fisher – Groove Swing
Amy Nomvula – Innate Sounds
Russell Turner – Sound of the Suburbs
Teresa Gibbon – Nikita Rocks
Each of them has brought something truly special to Future Radio — with passion, creativity, and a real love for their craft.
While we’re sad to see these shows go (for now!), we’re incredibly grateful for everything they’ve contributed to Future Radio and giving up their own time to produce some amazing shows for you. We hope it won’t be too long before we hear them back on air.
