Barbara Macca – or Babs, as many listeners know her – has loved radio for as long as she can remember. As a child, she would sit listening intently to her favourite stations, hoping the DJ wouldn’t talk over the intro of the song she was waiting for. Those early moments sparked a lifelong passion for music and broadcasting.

Life eventually brought her full circle. Reconnecting with radio later in life reignited that childhood spark — but this time, she was the one behind the microphone. What began as a return to something she loved quickly became a true calling. Nearly nine years on air later, Barbara still brings the same excitement, warmth and enthusiasm to every show.

Her style is natural, friendly and full of genuine love for the music she plays. She values her listeners deeply and often says it’s their support that keeps her going. That connection shines through on air — it feels less like a broadcast and more like good company.

On Saturday mornings from 7–9am, Barbara hosts Pick ’n’ Mix Gold – Breakfast in Bed with Barbara Macca, serving up a golden blend of timeless favourites and feel-good classics — the perfect soundtrack to ease into the weekend.
