Rob Ashard
Rob Ashard started listening to Radio Caroline during his school days in Ipswich in the mid 70’s. His interest in radio continued through the 80’s with a little bit of FM pirate radio, along with engineering and presenting work on Hospital Radio Ipswich.
Having worked in TV broadcast sound since 1980, he was involved in the Kingston RSL and successful station applicant, Thames FM (which has since become Radio Jackie) doing the Saturday night rockshow, Thames FM Rocks. Shortly after this links were made with Radio Caroline and Rob did his first show from the Maidstone Studios on a Saturday morning during the 1999 Southend RSL broadcast and has been doing a bit of engineering work and the odd programme ever since.
Rob is still a TV Sound Engineer working on many popular shows but has also run some FM broadcasts for classic car shows and also can be heard in Nitro FM, Santa Pod Raceway’s own radio station, which, as he says, zips up his car and radio anoraks, as his other passions are his 1975 Corvette and drag racing.
