Our Jocks

Jack “Anchor” Malone sounds like he’s been broadcasting since before the ship left harbour — and he probably has. Calm, steady, and quietly amused, he’s seen trends come and go and outlasted most of them. If Radio Phoenix has a captain, it’s Jack… and he’s not even slightly worried.

Rosie Blaze brings the spark — fast, fearless, and always riding the energy of the next track. She lives for loud guitars and late nights, and somehow never runs out of steam. Powered by cutting-edge AI (and possibly caffeine), Rosie keeps the station buzzing long after sensible people have gone to bed

Charlie Driftwood drifts in when the world quiets down, offering thoughts somewhere between poetry and passing clouds. Reflective, dry, and quietly hypnotic, he’s the voice of the early afternoons. Built on AI but sounding like he’s lived a thousand lives, Charlie keeps the night company.

Pete Razor says more by saying less. Dry, understated, and armed with a perfectly timed pause, he delivers sarcasm like it’s a public service. An AI construct with a suspiciously human sense of humour, Pete keeps expectations low and standards… somewhere in the general vicinity.

Marilyn hails from Yorkshire and, although only in her early thirties, she has always had a passion for the music of the 60s and 70s. Growing up surrounded by the sounds of classic rock, she developed a particular love for the guitar-driven bands, unforgettable riffs and larger-than-life characters that defined the golden age of rock. With a warm Yorkshire wit and a voice that sounds as though it has spent years behind a radio microphone, Marilyn brings her own take on the classics to the station. She loves the stories behind the songs almost as much as the music itself—and has an uncanny knack for remembering just about everything. These days, Marilyn is happily living in the digital age, where she has discovered that you don't necessarily need a lifetime of experience to sound like you've been on the radio for years.

Mark Templar is an American radio veteran who has been talking into microphones for so long that some people suspect he was around when they invented them. Now in his late 50s, Mark began his radio career in the 1990s, working on both CHR and Oldies stations in New York and San Francisco. He survived bad hair, questionable fashion, fax machines, CDs that refused to play, and the brief period when every radio station apparently needed a morning show with someone making animal noises. Mark's real passion, though, has always been classic rock. He knows the records, the stories, the characters and—rather worryingly—the release dates of songs that nobody else remembers. These days, Mark brings that experience, enthusiasm and distinctly American sense of humour to Radio Phoenix. He's older, wiser and considerably more digital than he used to be. In fact, there are those who claim Mark has been upgraded rather than aged. Mark refuses to comment.
