Ewing Stevens, RadioLIVE's Monday to Wednesday host of the All Nighter, joined Radio Pacific as a talkback host at the foundation of the station in 1979.
His first broadcasting experience was in 1956 with 4XD Dunedin.
While serving as a minister of the Wakari Union Parish, in 1972, he was invited to broadcast with 4XO in those pioneering days of current affairs talkback.
Ewing was awarded the M.B.E. for his work with youth in Dunedin in 1972 and he served as Manukau City Councillor for twelve years, between 1986 and 1998.
Ewing’s books include Striking Rock Bottom, Sermons on the Apostles’ Creed, Sunday Alive, Who was Jesus and a series of children’s photo essays, Jillian goes to School, Fiona Goes to Hospital, Carolyn’s Mother has a Baby and Tam Goes Fishing in New Zealand.
Ewing is married to Annette with four grown up children. They have two granddaughters Jana and Sienna and a Grandson, Billy.
Ewing and Annette now live in Onetangi on Waiheke Island. He travels each night by ferry to join his audience on air from Midnight to Dawn and returns on the early ferry after his shift to his paradisical island home.
From time to time Ewing visits his property in Central Otago and on those occasions he broadcasts from RadioLIVE's Alexandra studio.
