Mr Smith said his interest in popular music was sparked by listening to records at his Aunty's house in the 50s - back when battery-powered or 'wireless' radios were expensive.

"She had a record player and heaps of records including 78s and 45 singles," Mr Smith said.

" … I remember my dad saying one time, 'You'll wear those records into coil springs if you play them any more. And now I play those same songs on my weekly radio show."

Mr Smith said people can also tune in via 4crm.com.au and clicking on the Listen Live button.
