John Ngatai
My broadcasting journey began during the Covid pandemic when a lifelong fascination with radio became a genuine passion. During lockdown, I completed a Radio Fundamentals Course, which gave me the confidence to step behind the microphone and start pursuing a career in broadcasting.
As a lifelong music lover and, as my friends like to remind me, someone who enjoys the sound of his own voice, radio felt like the perfect fit. It combined my passion for music, storytelling and connecting with people.
When the world began to reopen, I was fortunate to join the team at 2SSR 99.7FM. Since then, I’ve been involved in a variety of roles across the station, but hosting my own shows remains the highlight of every week.
My love of music knows no boundaries, and that passion is reflected in my programs Saturday Jams and Saturday Night Party Mix, where you’ll hear everything from R&B, Soul and Hip Hop to Pop, Dance, Retro and Disco classics.
You’ll also catch me co-hosting the Maori Voice between 4-6pm here on 99.7FM
For me, radio is all about bringing people together through great music, great conversation and creating the soundtrack to listeners’ weekends.
