Listeners speak of Jonathan not just as a DJ or a radio host but as a guide. Through his carefully curated playlists, he introduces audiences to the sounds of Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, Asia and beyond. Each work, vocal and instrumental, carries a history, a culture, a story—and Øverby tells those stories with reverence.
