Rich Wheeler – Host of The Be Kind Rewind, Station Manager, Program Director, and Web Designer

Rich is from Savannah, Georgia, and lives within 5 miles of his immediate family, which includes two adorable great nieces. Rich’s daughters (cats count!) are Opal and Henrietta — more info about them below.

Rich has a degree in General Technology/Teleproduction. He started out as a videographer, editor, and producer in Charlotte, NC, where he lived for over 17 years. In 2017, he moved to the Savannah area to be near his family. In 2018, he began producing the church broadcast for his then church home on WRUU, the community FM radio station. He was approached by WRUU staff and asked if he wanted to create a show to air. He had never thought of doing radio — he’s a behind-the-scenes guy — but the idea intrigued him, and he decided to take them up on the offer.

Over the next few years, he produced several shows for the station with him as host. It was a very fun experience. He migrated over to online radio platforms, including Amazon’s experimental platform, where he met Sharon, who he calls his “radio wife,” and they’ve been going strong ever since. After the app was discontinued, they moved over to Stationhead, then Mixcloud, and now to 90s Plus Radio. 

Rich enjoys hosting shows but equally enjoys the nerdy programming side of the station. He also, with the help of AI, built this website. He loves the retro look. Keep up with him on Instagram @djrichwheeler.

Sharon Bowker – Host of TVD: 90s Edition, Assistant Station Manager, DJ, and Voice Over Artist

Sharon worked for 15 years as a radio news anchor and reporter before moving to Malmö, Sweden, as a “love immigrant” in 2002. But her passion for radio dates back to her early teens when she learned her high school had its own FM station. That experience led to a bachelor’s degree in telecommunications from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, and the launch of the aforementioned career in radio news.

Relocating abroad necessitated a move from journalism into corporate communications, but Sharon stayed connected to terrestrial radio by mentoring at Lund University’s student-run station. She met Rich Wheeler “virtually” when they were both hosting shows on an experimental platform that Amazon launched to promote its streaming music library, and the rest is history. They formed a fast friendship over their mutual love of radio and the GREATEST decade of pop music ever: The 1990s!

When not “corporate communicating,” hosting shows on 90s Plus Radio, or livestreaming on Mixcloud, Blast Radio and Twitch TV, Sharon tries to keep up with a pair of Godsons who have her wrapped around their little fingers to an embarrassing degree.

Rich Pasternack – Host of TRANSMISSION, Voice Over Artist

Rich started his radio journey while attending college in Western New York in 1992. He eventually went on to play guitar in local punk band The Lemmings from 1995-2004. Shortly thereafter he owned and operated a mobile DJ business until 2011 before taking a break to concentrate on family.

In 2023, the radio bug struck again when he joined the AMP community just months before its closure. From there Rich became a regular broadcaster on several platforms, including Stationhead and Blast Radio, which became his primary home in 2025.

Rich is an avid record collector, having over 6,000 records and CDs. His collection contains music from almost any genre you can think of, and he is always looking for something he hasn’t heard before. When someone tells you they listen to everything… Rich might actually be the guy that does.

In addition to bringing shows to 90s Plus Radio, he can be heard on one of his many shows on Blast Radio (blastradio.com/richpasternack) and some replays available through Mixcloud (mixcloud.com/richpasternack). Follow Rich on Instagram @rpasternack.live and keep up to date on everything. There’s always something going on!

Our furry staff:
Opal is Rich Wheeler’s sweet grey tabby who joined his family after a devastating loss of their big orange tabby, Shawna. To try to heal our family’s broken hearts, Rich W. made a trip to the shelter. He looked at several cats and found Opal (known at the time as Bunny) on top of a big cat house. Even at one year old, she was very small — we don’t think her previous owners were able to feed her properly. She wasn’t sick, just a little underweight. Rich brought her home, and now, almost a year later, she’s doing great and loves to eat Sheba cat pâté and a little dry food too. She is a sweetheart and likes to stay close to him. You’ll hear Rich talk about his cats often on radio shows.

Henrietta is Rich Wheeler’s big girl. He saw her on a Facebook adoption post a few years ago. Her foster family wasn’t far from his house. Rich was just going to “see her” and told himself he might not adopt her. Once he got to her foster house, Rich knew she was coming home with him. She’s not very affectionate like Opal, but she does like to be petted, and at night, she’s usually curled up on the sofa next to his dad watching Hallmark movies. Henrietta and Opal tolerate each other, but we wouldn’t say they’re friends.
