He's been a bit of a showman in his time and still writes poetry, but he doesn't talk on his radio station.
"I play what I feel like playing. Nobody wants to hear somebody raving all the time."
He finds out about new music from his friend Robert Martin, who buys new recordings.
Radio Wild Card, 107.3 FM, can be heard in Wanganui East and Aramoho, and as far into downtown Wanganui as Dublin St and Taupo Quay. He started it as a service to the community.
"People can hear tracks they haven't heard for a long time, or songs that I think are interesting."
The station plays day and night, and kept going while Mr Brother-Majik was in hospital for three weeks recently.
"When you take on low-power FM it's like getting a pet. You're in it for life."
There was a small cost in setting up. Mr Brother-Majik bought playlist software from a man in Tauranga, and a small transmitter in an aluminium box, and an aerial for his roof. He also pays Apra $350 a year for using other people's music.
Because he is broadcasting at only 1 watt, he doesn't have to buy a radio frequency.
His is not the only low-powered FM station in Wanganui. There's also Roxy Radio, broadcasting on 106.7 FM. Dagsy FM was run by Phil Hyde when he was looking for a job in 2012. It is now defunct, according to Wikipedia.
Another is a Christian station, broadcasting in Marton. The New Zealand Low Power FM Broadcasting Community Open Source Knowledge Base also lists Swiss Mixx, broadcasting from Swiss Ave, and houseFM.
It's a massive list, with about 35 stations in Auckland alone - including a Radio Chomsky, which is limited to a single backyard in Grey Lynn.
