The Gold Coast\u2019s own Radio Lollipop Live Radio Show will soon be back on airwaves with volunteers busily preparing for the relaunch. The Radio Lollipop volunteers are currently in training to bring sick kids at the Gold Coast Hospital a regular live radio show.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gold Coast Chairperson, Martine Simonds and Program Co-ordinator, Evie Mitchell visited Radio Lollipop at the Mater Children\u2019s hospital to train with experienced Radio Lollipop announcer, Penelope Passport (Aka Ceara McManus) and the \u201cTerrific Tuesday Team\u201d<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Martine and Evie, (aka Princess Sparkles and Party Pirate), learned the ropes of a regular radio show and discovered while taking song requests that Psy\u2019s \u201cGangnam Style\u201d, <\/i>is still top of the pops in the children\u2019s wards.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were a bit nervous at first but Penelope Passport is so relaxed and professional that it turned out to be lots of fun,\u201d Martine said.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s clear that the kids love interacting with a live show and their faces light up when they hear their name and song request played.\u00a0 The Brisbane crew have set the bar for professional, thoughtful radio programs really high and I\u2019m excited that we will soon be able to bring a live radio show to the Gold Coast patients\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\n
