The musical equivalent box of a box of chocolates.

Tina has been a friend of 3MDR for over ten years, a 3MDR volunteer (in the office) since 2020, and has now added show presenter to her growing list of never-before accomplishments.

You Never Can Tell - with Christina the Astonishing follows no particular genre because so many good tunes just need to be heard.  

Tune in from 9 to 11 am every Tuesday for rock, folk, bluegrass, indie, world music, big band sounds, crooners, and iconic names from across the decades. Plenty of Australian fayre, lots of local performers, and some long forgotten tracks to take you back in time.
