Episode 49 - Nails Mahoney

You might remember Nails Mahoney from such radio stations as Sunshine 101, Atlantic 252, 2FM, and 98FM to name just a few. His radio career has been long and varied, and in this episode I chat to him about his start in the industry as a rookie pirate, being given his current moniker by Wild Bill at Sunshine 101 when that station went 'hot hits', to where he is and all that went in-between. He's worked on and off in Canada down the years, and speaks about how for him radio isn't so much about the music, it's what happens between songs that drives him. It's 'the verbals', as he says, which is why he was able to work successfully on a country music radio station despite not really having an affinity for that kind of music himself. If you're into radio you'll love this, if you have ambitions or aspirations to be a presenter, you really need to give this a listen because it'll give you some great perspective about the job and the industry.
