Alive with Couples

I’ve discovered the station has quite a few couples enjoying working together so I’m going to highlight their roles over the next few issues. First up there’s local couple, Andrew and Kaye Segelov, who have launched two new shows here at Alive FM.

Kaye, a writer, artist and communications consultant, hosts ‘Alive with Arts’ featuring creative and visual arts news, events, reviews and interviews, while Andrew, a qualified counsellor, hosts ‘My Mental Health’, where he discusses mental health issues with people working in the field. Although the two shows seem unrelated, there are strong links between them, as both provide a platform for listeners to discover themselves and enhance wellbeing.

Andrew and Kaye have different talents and interests, but their work on radio provides a common interest and helps them to understand each other better. While their shows are aired separately, Andrew and Kaye work in collaboration to prepare the shows, and regularly co-host together.

“The collaboration provides us with a common interest and encourages strong communication,” is a quote from Andrew, who goes on to say “We share our experiences without judgement, and help each other to become better presenters.”

However, it’s not always smooth sailing. Kaye admits “We are both quite competitive, so there’s a bit of rivalry.” “We need to be careful not to try and control each other’s show,” adds Andrew. “We both think we’re right, of course.” “The key is to keep radio and our life together separate. At the end of the day we are there to support each other, and provide great content for the listeners.”

Alive With Arts Wednesdays 2-4pm; My Mental Health Wednesdays 8-10pm
