Hi, this is Rael.
I present The Progressive Rock Machine on Phoenix Fm. The show has been running continuously (Apart from 3 weeks when covid first hit and i had to, as they say ‘pivot’ to maintain what I do). The show covers music in all forms including pop/rock/world and so much more. Everything is Progressive to my ears. The show is scripted/recorded/edited and distributed from my home studio and I have to say it takes quite a bit of my time, but I love what I do.
As for the rest of my life – I am now retired, but I also work as a guide (And av/support and a committee member) for the Art Gallery of Ballarat and I write crime novels in my spare time.
On air I adopt the pseudo ‘Rael’ (Based on a character from an album by Genesis) and when I write, I am Digby Stevens – although in the ‘real’ world my name is Fred Spittle.
