Joanne Venegas / Presenter

Joanne presents the Venegas Roadshow on Dundalk FM 97.7, airing on the second Saturday of every month at 9pm, a programme produced in connection with Saint John of God North East Services that brings music, warmth, and community spirit to the Saturday night schedule.

The Saint John of God organisation has been a partner of Dundalk FM since the early days of the station, and the Venegas Roadshow is one of the most direct expressions of that partnership. Joanne brings the same values of inclusion, participation, and genuine community service to her broadcasting that define the work of Saint John of God more broadly.

The show is named with characteristic personality: the Venegas Roadshow has a traveller’s energy, moving through music and conversation with the kind of warmth that makes it feel like a gathering rather than a broadcast. Listeners tuning in on the second Saturday of the month find a programme that celebrates music and people with equal enthusiasm.

Joanne’s programme is one of Dundalk FM’s most community-embedded shows, a direct expression of the partnership between a radio station and an organisation that has been serving people with intellectual disabilities and their families in the north east of Ireland for decades.
