Emma's biog:
Twenty something, local girl, became a Christian in 2007 and got involved with radio in 2008 making her debut co-presenting with the P. (our very own station manager Kevin Potter) on Drive. Emma is bubbly, fun loving, and loves music anything from Jason Upton to chase n status (ANYTHING BUT COUNTRY! - sorry Westie). Emma also loves dancing, being spontaneous and food. Emma always answers questions with a question and is always within the 2% of the population when doing those really annoying quizzes!!

Ryan's biog:
Ryan came to Hope FM on work experience back in March 09, loved it - "everyone was friendly and still are!" We can't get rid of him!

He loves listening to music, loves playing it - he has two instruments - guitar and keyboard.

"I love working at Hope FM and I don’t want to leave, however I am hoping that in the future I might work my way up into the big radio stations, but Hope FM has actually been life changing radio for me! It has helped me get started in radio and I hope I will remain here for another couple of years."

Matthew's biog:

I moved to Bournemouth three years ago and have never looked back because I enjoy living near the beach and have made some great friends!

I became a Christian about 20 years ago when I was in my early teens and living near Glastonbury and over the years I have been blessed in many ways. I have moved around farily regularly over the years so have attended a variety of churches, however since I moved to Bournemouth I have found a good church which adds to the many reasons why I would like to stay in this lovely place for some years.

For over 10 years I been on a musical journey which has seen me work on a number of different radio stations. I hope to bring the experience I gained to Hope FM and share it with a station that I think provides an invaluable spiritual resource to local communities.

This is what you can expect on his show: some Comedy Trivia, a featured artist, a look at the Hope FM website, what's on in the community and of course travel news taking you home safely
