DJ Profile
Richard Mercer
Richard Mercer

Nickname: 
These days, Love God.

Where were you born?
Nelson, New Zealand.

Your favourite childhood memory?
Living opposite an old warehouse (with many loose boards) where a large confectionary company stored their Easter eggs. 

Where would you like to go but have never been?
Tibet.

Idols?
Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, J Kristnamutri, Oprah, Richard Feynman, Dalai Lama.

Spare-time hobbies?
Music (listening and making), reading, food (eating and cooking), building, pulling things apart to see what makes them tick (including people).

How did you get into radio?
As a young child, my soul was captured my radio and music.  When I was 11  I was given my first cassette recorder, which I used to record silly routines, drive people nuts by interviewing them and record my own music show.  Soon after,  I worked out a way to convert my mother's stereo into a weak AM transmitter, so that I could transmit my tapes to myself in the backyard.

What's your most memorable on-air experience?
Sunday nights from 8pm.  What could be more memorable than a radio program where many callers remove their masks and reveal a little of what is underneath?   The result is a real life radio program that highlights what we all share and strive for - love. 

Which person (dead or alive) would you love to meet?
Dalai Lama.  

One thing that no-one knows about you - until now? 
Yeah, right!!!! 

Your favourite actor or actress?
Denzel Washington - his performance and character portrayal in the move about Hurricane Carter was brilliant.

What would you be doing if you weren't in radio?
Hopefully, working with people, music and my dreams.

What's the best thing about working at MIX106.5?
1. Living one of my childhood dreams of working in radio.
2. Living one of my adult dreams of hosting a program that is based NOT on cynicism, negativity and confrontation, but rather love, understanding and tolerance.
