Scotland’s first internet radio station for health and wellbeing is to launch in New Year's Day, broadcasting across the UK, USA and North America.
Fife-based Wellbeing Radio will go live at noon on Wednesday with a 24-hour schedule of programmes designed to promote physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Listeners will hear health and wellbeing advice from leading experts, talk shows and discussions, interviews, ancient yogic wisdom, meditation and relaxation techniques, mindful children’s stories and more.
Presenters include seasoned broadcaster and voiceover artist JJ Stenhouse, who is based in Fife; clinical psychologist Dr Sarah Madagan, who will present a weekly Loved Up on Life programme, and French-born Radical Rest Yogi Sophie Leon, who is an expert in rest and relaxation.
The station’s flagship programme will be Wake Up the Right Way, a breakfast show presented by Zen yoga teacher and Wellbeing Radio co-founder Scott Hutchison-McDade and friends between 7 and 9am every weekday. The show will be preceded by a half-hour Rise & Shine meditation between 6.30 and 7am.
The schedule is also to include a Holistic Scotland Hour delivered by Holistic Scotland Magazine, which is Scotland’s only natural health and wellbeing title.
Hutchison-McDade said: “I’m excited to present Scotland’s first multimedia platform for health and wellbeing. After nearly a year in the making, I’m really pleased to see it come to fruition. After launching Scotland’s first healing sound therapy to combine silent disco technology with binaural beats earlier this year, it seems like a natural progression. Please check out the website for lots of insightful health and wellbeing articles and don’t forget to tune in on January 1.”
