Steven is the new kid on the block at 98 and has been here since March 2009. So let’s give a warm hand to welcome the newbie. He presents the Workforce from one to four Monday to Friday, as well as 12 to 3 on Sundays.

He’s been ‘working’ in radio since the tender age of 13, when he got his start on a pirate station called Phoenix Fm. As a cheeky schoolboy, he had the privilege of doing the entertainment roundup and the horoscopes. Alas, Phoenix was not to be, and even a petition started by the undaunted young Steven failed to save it.

He kept up his skills by DJing and when he left school got a stint on Kiss Fm, but his Mum kept saying he should get a real job. Dragging him down to Fás, they were surprised to find a course in Radio Production and Journalism in Waterford- which Steven says he managed to stick with for about 4 months. A one week work experience placement in a Dublin station swiftly turned into to two years (hence the giving up college). Steven did literally everything there, but never got to be on air as he was too young, so when the chance to work at the now defunct Atlantic 252 came up – he grabbed it.

Atlantic 252 not only left Steven with a mild mid-Atlantic twang, but he also managed to pick up a wife for himself.

Steven has worked in radio stations all over the country and says the scariest thing about your first day in a new station is remembering to say the right name. Phone numbers are tricky too, and he even managed to read out his own mobile number on air.

One thing from the archives he has yet to dig out is a recording of wee Steven on ‘Kitchen Fm.’ Awww, a young DJ-to-be singing jingles and naming white goods, priceless.

If he weren’t a DJ, Steven would be a member of An Garda Síochána like his father and grandfather before him, though only if they reduced the intelligence level when they increased the age limit.
