I'm so glad I found this radio station one day, it's how I was put onto Talking Heads which is now one of my all-time favourite bands! I love listening to the morning segments on my way to work but the evening portions can be really funny too. I find all the presenters extremely knowledgeable in their fields and you can really feel their individual personalities shine through each time they're on the air. I've recommended the station to NUMEROUS friends at this point! Frank was on the Air this morning and he was ESPECIALLY charming today when he would forget something minor and say "Wake up Frank!" and I practically chortled with his "interruptive guest" (I forget the name) who kept calling him Francis - the skit made me chuckle quite a lot. Keep up the good work, this station never ceases to make me smile. :)

At 4:54 PM Eastern Time I heard you play "The Wreck of the Old 97". Very interesting as I was born in Danville and now work in Lynchburg. I also commute to work on the road that replaced the rail line that the Old 97 ran on. Goes to show that it is a small world after all.
Keep playing the classic tunes.

What a lunch I have had... not the food but ... hearing two songs by Dana Winner in Dutch, my mother tongue!! And it is not even my birthday!! THANK YOU!
It is especially important for me right now as I was down in the dumps this morning, the symptoms of my Parkinson's having inexplicably worsened these last few days. Hearing Dana Winner singing in Dutch (like Dana, I was born in Belgium) was the tonic I needed to carry on with a smile, no matter what. THANK YOU!!
(After another song)
... now you've got me in tears!! A song in French, I think by Nana Mouskouri, is playing... my second language back in Belgium! I feel so fortunate, so... happy, thanks to your radio station, which, may I add, has been a trusted friend ever since we moved to Australia from Belgium. But this... I can walk with greater ease right now, the disabling disease conquered for a while or so it seems... thanks to good old (?!) Capital Digital Radio!

My wife and I have a radio at home that has 3 stations programmed into it: ABC FM, Capital FM and Curtin FM. Depending on the programme we alternate mainly between Capital and Curtin. Saturday afternoon used to be Curtin as my wife likes country music, but I have convinced her to swing over to Capital with the Grand Daddy of Perth music (his comment) Allan Watson. We both love his music but even more his presentation.
My wife also likes to listen to Tony on Saturday mornings as he sometimes interviews her sister Faith who is a well known pianist. John Furman is another favourite. John's daughter is a good friend of our daughter.
We do a lot of country deliveries and in the past I have used Spotify to cover the areas where we can't pick up Capital. Recently I have begun streaming Capital and we are loving it. The only frustration is when the phone goes into buffering mode.
Julie and I have decided we would like to become Capital members and will complete the application process.
Keep up the great work.
Cheers

Simone (Glen Forrest WA)

Thanks for the music I like to hear. You're not alone on Capital - every time I turn it on it's great old music. I'm in the Philippines so it's great to have an ozzie channel that's my style.

Ian (Phillipines)

Good morning team,
I'm loving the ballads this morning. I'm steady and loving this music, I've been listening to this type of era recently. I'm 30 {Wow!!! - ed 😊} and feel like I was born in the wrong time - what a nice way to wake up and enjoy the wet weather.

Andy

A big thank you to Allan from Golden Years after 8pm on Wednesdays for calling out to my kids Ella (10 yrs old) and Lachie (8 years old). They were so happy to happy to hear their favorite presenter acknowledge them as keen listeners each Wednesday after 8pm. The kids have even signed up as Troopers!
Many thanks, keep up the great work.

Paul (father)

Hi, another great day of music, loving it! Made my Friday go real quick. This station just gets better 😀
Thank you and all.

Regards, Danny and Cheryl (Warwick)

Hello there to all the wonderful people at Capital Community radio, We listen to the Golden years of radio every Wednesday night when we pick up my Granddaughter Ella, who's 10 yrs & Grandson Lachie who's 8, from dance class. They just are huge fans of Golden years too, after 8pm they would love it if you could put on some country and western tunes by their favourite presenter at this time in the evening.
THANK YOU 😊 Love all your country music! 🎶

Nana Mo, Ella & Lachie

Thanks for the wonderful music you all play while one gets on with things. Your volunteering is so appreciated. I really don’t know what I would do without it. Both the information and the humour is so enjoyed.
Thank you and all.

I start at 7.30 am and don't turn it off till approx. 3am. I find the station brings back happy memories of the "good old days of my happy growing up life". I live on my own and my soul partner, a Tenterfield Terrier is my constant companion. I live in a large house and do the complete running of my house unaided which is my choice. I am a young 89 yr. old and find your station keeps me still feeling younger . I have white hair to my delight and not grey. I thought a piece of useless information lets you see how the other half lives the other side of the radio. I am a member of the station. Happy seasons greetings to all and stay healthy.

David Smith

I would just like to thank you for the best ever selection of songs I have ever heard. I live in the Philippines originaly from Mosman Park. Keep up the great work.

Ian Briggs. (Philippines)

I heard some great music this morning...Fantastic programmes throughout the day every day. Thank you.

Regards Anna

My son and family live in Kent UK and rang me when he eventually received my West Australian calendar which I always send to remind him of home. He said the twelve pictures of sunshine were the only sun they had seen in three months!?!? Enjoying your show thank you.

Sylvia (Mt Lawley)

I am currently listening to yet another fantastic programme. Capital Radio never disappoints and I've called many times to praise the Presenters and Producers. You all do a tremendous job and you get me bopping...well shuffling out of bed 😆 for work; you keep me company. I love listening to every single Presenter and it wouldn't be the same without Charmaine from Bayswater, Irene of Shenton Park and Tony of Harrisdale. 😁
I'm alone completely and just wanted to especially send out a hug to the other single or isolated folks.

With love and best wishes for a much improved 2022.

Just listening to your music - great music selection and good presenter.

Pradeep

Thank you for your wonderful station - I couldn’t live without it especially in the gym!!

Pauline

Terry Spence is just the best on Sunday Breakfast. Light classical music with style and substance, presented with a light touch. You have made a real contribution to my life, and I am sure to the lives of thousands of other listeners. All from our little radio station, staffed by volunteers and supported by donations. Capital Community Radio really is a virtuous circle - generous people sharing their talent, and building a stronger community.

Thank you to Terry and Ann for getting out of bed on a cold morning.

Murray Cox, Perth, WA.

Love your program [Ian Hasleby] and humour!! Loved the zero to 80 quip! Keep up the good show!!

Gavin & Joan, Bull Creek

Hi Ian Hasleby and Michelle, Just gave my 100 bucks [to Radiothon]. Love your show Ian and all those crap jokes. I am an Irish guy listening to you from Amsterdam the Netherlands on the Internet. I will stay tuned in now till your programme finishes before I head off to bed at 3am. Ha ha don't take it personally - your show is sending this listener off to sleep. But thanks to your show I will head off to bed to dream that COVID restrictions are lifted and I'm back jogging around Scarborough again with earphones in my ear listening to Capital Community Radio...Keep up the great work.

Garrett McQuaid, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

What a superb choice of music this morning. I'll make sure I tune in every Sunday if it's the same presenter [Rod Culley].

Alice Warwick.

I’ve discovered your radio station while being on the village bus with my elderly clients in Perth one month ago. Since then I start switching to your radio and my elderly clients really love it.

Sharon Seebaluck, Western Australia.

Great stuff - discovered you when painting the house in lock down. Keep up the brilliant musical selections.

Brad, Western Australia.

What a wonderful program today, Monday, 26 April. During Lockdown you have made my day a pleasant journey through Down Memory Lane from 6am on. Thank you Capital Radio. God bless you all.

Cecilia Brukwinski, Western Australia.

I just love your programme and have told all my elderly friends about it. I particularly love the songs and music from the 1940's and 50's. My mother would switch the wireless on every morning at 6-30 am and it didn't go off until 10-00pm.

June, Western Australia.

We listen most evenings, we turn off the tv and listen to Conrad.

Keith May, Kent, UK

Hi, Great radio! Just arrived in Perth, am on a hotel quarantine and got a lot of time to check out radio stations in the city. Yours is one of few that has the most positive Type of music. Good old times when truth, honour, meant something. And love had a proper meaning. Keep on Rolling.

Michal (42 years old), WA

Fantastic songs right now. Makes me so happy.

Weni Trihaju, WA

Music is great and makes the day go faster with old music of when I was a kid growing up. Even [though] we are in lockdown [we] keep playing the music of yesteryear. I listen from 7am till 1130pm.

Frank Stevens, WA

I found your station while visiting my son and his family during November to early February 2019. I'm so delighted to find I can tune in still now I'm back in Ireland! Thank you for lovely music and treasured memories. Stay safe everyone.
