The Wings Over New Zealand Show is about to go LIVE

That’s right, I have been offered the amazing opportunity to join the line up of great shows at Warbird Radio, the international station that is based in Washington DC, in the USA. Warbird Radio is currently setting up to go live to the world via the internet, and the station owner Matt Jolley is a big fan of WONZ and has previously rebroadcast a number of our shows, so he invited me to join his new line up of live shows.

The new live format will start in the next few weeks. Matt has just moved back to Washington DC after living in Mississippi for some time with his family, and he’s currently setting up the studio in his new place. Once it’s up and running the WONZ Show will have a live one-hour slot once every four weeks.

So I’ll be presenting the live show, ably assisted by Matt in the producers’ booth, and as well as some pre-recorded bits in the shows, we will have live banter, and listeners around the world will be able to call or Skype in and chat live on air if they wish. There’s also the potential to have guests chatting live on the show too.

The theme of the shows will be oriented around New Zealand warbirds, Air Force, museums, heritage and military aviation veterans.

This live show will be in addition to, and not instead of, the currently podcast format. So for anyone out there with warbird or aviation heritage news who would like to get word out there on their projects, products, events and anything else that fits into the genre, please let me know on [email]dave_daasnz@hotmail.com[/email] – and the same goes if you’d like to volunteer to be a live guest on the show.

I’ll let you know closer to the air date all the details of when to tune in, but in the meantime the Warbird Radio website is at http://www.warbirdradio.com/
and their Facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/WarbirdRadio

Cheers,

I had thought there’d be more interest here on the forum in this, particularly from the Poms, since Les Munro was a key member of the RAF’s most famous bomber squadron. Oh well…

Great photo PanzerJohn.

Well that’s a possibility, maybe when we reach the 100 episodes mark. A good idea there Andy!

Yes it’s still on iTunes (I believe), as is my other podcast, Courage And Valour: New Zealanders In The Italian Campaign.

The newest episode of Courage And Valour: New Zealanders In The Italian Campaign – “Episode Three – Castel Frentano And Orsogna” is now online.

Download and/or listen now for free.

In this third episode in the Courage And Valour series we hear from veterans of the New Zealand Infantry remembering their part in the battles to take the German regional headquarters and the nearby village of Castel Frentano, and their attempt to also capture the stronghold village of Orsogna.

As well as battling the Germans, these kiwi troops had to also contend with weather they’d never struck before, battling the cold, the mud, the rain and the heavy snowfalls. This campaign lasted from November 1943 through to late January 1944.
