Merran Regan’s IN THE SPOTLIGHT show on Wednesdays from 4-7pm is a mix of popular music, interviews and guests.
Each week Merran chooses a music theme and invites listeners to call in with requests along that theme to be played live during the show. You can see each week’s theme listed on Merran’s facebook page In The Spotlight with Merran Regan on Northside Radio. Merran plays an eclectic mix of pop, rock, jazz, indie, country, even musical theatre from Australia and all around the world – from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s through to songs from today.  She regularly interviews local mayors, actors, playwrights, directors, artists, musicians, performers, writers, authors, artistic directors and producers across all art forms – theatre, dance, opera, musicals, festivals, family events, even kids shows.
Tune in 4-7pm Wednesday afternoons.
