Doug Kramer

Doug Kramer, known for his energetic on air personality, has spent the better part of the last 20 years in Radio. Beginning his career in Hot Springs on 105.9 KLAZ, Kramer pioneered the on air mix-show having DJ's like Chaos, Big Brown, Chris K and many others doing live mixes on the air. After several station moves in the late 90's Kramer found himself a home in New Orleans doing mornings on 104.1 KISS FM. At this point his show had begun syndication. In 2006 Kramer moved his operations to Oklahoma City where he worked afternoons at KJ103 and further refined the overall direction of his show. It was then that he began syndication of his mix-show which is still heard every Saturday night. In 2008 Kramer took his syndicated program to the studio back in Arkansas.

Flip Miller

Flip hails from the town of Bishop's Stortford but is now a local gal residing in Beck Row. Flip champions all things local to Mildenhall and the surrounding villages but is truly in her element when interviewing local people, bands and business people. Flip is often found "out and about" at local events flying the flag for Zack FM and Mildenhall in general. There is nothing she loves more than being interactive with our listeners on air when hosting her shows so do call her up or pop a message through when she is in the studio.

You can catch Flip on Monday evenings at 9pm with the "All Request Show" or teamed up with Chris T on Tuesdays for Live and Local - not forgetting Sunday Night Live at 9pm as part of Solid Gold Sunday. Flip is also the voice of the Zack FM local travel reports.

Gary Philips

I've been obsessed with radio since getting the bug years ago after joining a local hospital radio station. In my career, I’ve worked as a newsreader and reporter at the BBC in Essex and stations in Suffolk, Norfolk and Milton Keynes. News is my passion and local news is where I get the biggest buzz! Finding stories and telling them to Zack FM listeners gives me a huge sense of satisfaction. I relax by watching my beloved Leeds Utd (not very relaxing), going to the cinema or listening to my vinyl record collection (all right grandad). And I am always on the hunt for really really good coffee, so if you know anywhere... Gary is also responsible for our sports desk and weather reports. News and sports reports can be submitted to newsdesk@zackfm.com

Geoff Dorset

Starting his career aged just thirteen, it was only a short while before Geoff became established as one of the Mecca Group's top three DJs, seeing him open new venues worldwide. He compared the second ever gig by Led Zeppelin and early shows with Fleetwood Mac. Geoff has been heard on Radio Hallam, Q102 in Florida and KZUN in Dallas, pirate radio station Sunshine Radio, Skyline FM, Express FM, Mix 94 in Las Vegas and the UK's second most-listened to community station, Forest FM and now joins us on Zack FM.

Hamish Brown

I have been working at Zack FM now for a good number of years now, I have always enjoyed music and have spent time working in clubs and done a season abroad in Ayia Napa. I always strive to make my self better at what I do and enjoy helping people so they can also achieve their goals. My main interests are deep house music, tattoos and just going out at the weekend with my friends. Join me each and every Saturday morning between 5 and 7am.

Judge Jules

Juice

Hobbies and interests – I go to the gym most days, I am a bit of a workaholic so work and hobbies seem to run into each other.

Top 3 songs:

John Miles – Music

Stereophonics – Dakota

Layo Bushwacker – Love story

I originally started doing mobile disco's when I was 14 years old, then moved into DJ'ing in bars and nightclubs across the country working with many famous PA's and bands before getting my own bar/ night club, which I currently have alongside a property development business.  My radio life began after being a big fan of Laser 558 and Radio Caroline; I started in radio with Instore Radio for New Look, then got a big break and went to work at Chiltern Radio, originally doing weather, travel and making the tea! I then progressed to my own show and the Chiltern radio Roadshow's. Soon after that I joined a station in Essex called 1557. I also worked for Jam FM, Midsummer Radio amongst others, in the mid 1990's I did a spell on Radio Caroline out in the North Sea. In 2005 I started DJing for Big L International Radio where I still currently have a show on Saturday afternoons. I started my show on Zack FM in 2011 and took over ownership of the station in 2014.

I always try to believe that if you want something enough, and you work hard enough one day it will happen for you, hopefully that day will come.

 Kev Reed

Kev has been spinning the discs in one format or another since 1990. He had many years running his own mobile disco, a stint on hospital radio (he was taught how to safely restrain the patients before he was shown how to operate the studio!), a rather long spell on Big L 1395am and now Kev can be found waffling over the airwaves of Zack FM! Kev is part of the tech team at the station as well as being part of our daily presenting line-up. Kev broadcasts from his own studio in Norwich giving us a Golden Oldie of the Day, a Quick Fire Pop Quiz and a couple of rounds of What Was The Year. The music played on Kev's show is rather wide-ranging so you never really know whats likely to be heard next. Same can be said for his sideways glancing blows when it comes to his observations on life and the world in general. You are most welcome to suggest a Golden Oldie Of The Day - just pop an email, SMS or WhatsApp through!

You can probably guess what Kev's hobbies revolve around from his profile pic. If he is not on the air with Zack FM, he is possibly in the air at the contols of a Piper Warrior II as a student pilot.

As for his taste in music... Anything goes. But push him really hard and he may reveal his favourite track is Late Night Grande Hotel by Nanci Griffith. Or possibly Love At The Five And Dime...
