John Maizels on SYN
John was part of 3ST (SYN's grandparent) in early 70s at RMIT.
He cofounded the Monash student radio station, was a part of 3CT at Caulfield Tech, was one of the founding members of PBS and conducted the first test broadcast for 3CR.
He joined the ArtSmitten team at SYN for an interview while he was in town for the CBAA conference.
During the interview he recalls the time broadcast from inside the elevators on campus for 3ST, making him responsible for the the newspaper headline "Radio's Rise and Fall".
Today, John is the president of Technorama and a community radio legend! Tom and Marcie co-host and co-produce ArtSmitten on SYN Wednesdays and Sundays.
Although they never broadcast from a moving lift, they are handsome, talented, groovy SYNners - and hey, they gave the book a shout out, so they have great taste!
