Julie ‘Joolz’ Hudson

Hi! Im Julie Hudson, more commonly known as ‘Dr Joo’. I made Heckington my home some years ago after travelling and living in various parts of Europe. I joined HLR as a regular DJ in December 2020, after I had gate crashed one of the ‘At Home with Andy and Trish’ shows. Watching and joining in was so much fun and made me want my own show and so ‘Tracks Through Time’ was born. This Saturday morning show is co-presented with my partner, Kate, otherwise known as ‘The Matron’. We are part of the local Singing Windmill Steampunk Group and so our show has the background story that we are travelling in our steampunk Tardis to past years to see what was in the charts that week. It’s a fun show and there is lots of laughter and waffle as well as a varied mix of artists and chart music from years gone by to reminisce to.

I also host my own show, The Wednesday Word, an early morning, hour long show with the played tracks all containing one specific word in the title (sometimes chosen by listeners). This leads to some very eclectic music across all genres and lots of factoids about the word of the day. I usually try and fit a ‘good news’ story in too, hopefully brightening everybody’s mid-week wake up routine.

You can Join us LIVE on Saturday mornings from 10am-12.

The Wednesday Word show is at 6.30am on Wednesdays. If that is a bit early for you, then don’t forget you can catch up with the show here at The Wednesday Word.
