Epsom Hospital Radio > Meet The Team > Natalie Osborne

Natalie Osborne has been with Epsom Hospital Radio since October 1998.

Since her very first solo show in December 1998 Natalie has regularly been occupying Tuesday evenings between 8-10pm. After almost 10 years at the helm, she has decided to take a more supporting role and become a stand-in presenter.

Tune in to Natalie's show and you’ll hear a range of easy listening music from the 60s to present day, including a section on Motown, as well as a look at historical events, birthdays, celebrity gossip and the horoscopes.

Natalie, like all members of Epsom Hospital Radio, is actively involved in ward visits and outside broadcasts, as well as co-ordinating the publication of the Patient Guide.

The Question & Answer Zone...

What's your favourite genre of music?

I like to listen to a range of music and styles which are apparent in my shows.

I grew up in the 80s so have a soft spot for the likes of Duran Duran, WHAM and the Euythmics. Parental influences enhanced my experience of music and as a result I appreciate music from the crooners as well as a base in rock - although I have never stretched so far as to like Metallica - Queen, Rolling Stones, U2, Bon Jovi, Meat Loaf and Guns N Roses are on my list of favourites. Billy Joel, Bryan Adams and Robbie Williams also feature.

My training led me to work with a presenter who listened to Motown. As a result I learned to appreciate the impact that music had on the scene and have incorporated it into my shows.

When you're not at Epsom Hospital Radio, what are you doing?

I am an administrator within a secondary school however my hobbies also take up a lot of my time (if I can help it!!).

If you had £1,000,000 to spend on yourself and no-one else what would you spend it on?

I would put a lot into savings buy a dream mansion and holiday home. Unfortunately one million would not cover it all, so I would spend it sailing with select crew around the world and take my time doing it!!!

What is your ideal holiday destination?

Canada is a wonderful destination, as is Cornwall. My ideal would be sunning myself with the wind in my hair on the deck of a sailing ship.
