Radio
Maynard F# Crabbes started his radio career as a volunteer at community radio station 2NUR-FM at Newcastle University. In December 1985, he had his own program Radio Stupid, on Saturday nights from 11:00pm to station close at about 1:00am. The format was partly based on The Castanet Club stage show. Music featured 1980s dance, electronic and alternative with obscure songs, adverts and mash-ups of his own creation. Radio Stupid had competitions and audience participation, such as a "Find the Record Competition", where a record would be hidden in Newcastle. By stretching the mike boom from the console and the distant wallphone handset together, Maynard had talk-back; if only one caller at a time.
He was a presenter on Triple J from 1987 till the early 1990s. He now works at ABC local radio and is an online video presenter. One of his projects was "30 Second Special" with Jaimie Leonarder.[1]
His latest show The Dirty Disbelievers will debut on ABC Digital Radio across Australia Saturday and Sunday evenings in December 2011. Maynard will have as regular guests Richard Saunders, Dr Rachael Dunlop & Jaimie Leonarder plus music segments.
