André van Os

Inspired by Radio Caroline and Mi Amigo in the late 1970's, André started making radio on a landbased pirate in his home country The Netherlands and for a short spell on a Belgium one. He did music and news programmes for hospital radio up north and in Amsterdam, where he was also passionately involved in local newsradio on FM.

For twenty years he worked for several national public broadcasters as an internet pioneer, setting up their first streaming webradio stations with documentaries and current affairs. He was head of the internet department of Radio Netherlands Worldwide, until the government unfortunately cut most of the station's funding.

While writing about radio for magazines and websites he got in touch with the internet heir of The Voice of Peace, the station he saw and listened to in Israel. He presented his Peacetrain show there for four years. After that, it was on to his first love in radio: Caroline. First to wake you up on early mornings, now doing Saturday afternoons and Tuesday lates.

On Twitter, he describes himself as: “Presenter @TheRadCaroline | Saturdays 4-7 pm GMT, Top 15 on Monday, Tuesday Late every fortnight | Don't know your past, don't know your future (Z. Marley).”

André is a Presenter at Radio Caroline.
