Wim Bloemendaal (1936) is a Dutch radio host and music collector. Became a music teacher in the late 1950s and started making radio shows for the Dutch radio stations VARA and VPRO in the mid-sixties. He focused on authentic, often exotic, music. In the 70s he made radio shows like "Popsmuk", which he made with Pim Oets and a Country- and Western program called "Nashville". In those days, Wim also wrote for Dutch pop magazine "Hitweek". Between 1973 and 1984 he made the radio show "Truck", a program for truck drivers that started very early in the morning. From 1982 until 1986 he also made the radio show "Moondogs", which he hosted, amongst others, with Dutch radio DJ and documentary maker Bram van Splunteren. As of 1989, Wim continued to make various radio shows for VPRO radio, of which the longest running show (1992 - 2006) was "De gezamenlijke zenders Peazens en Moddergat". After he left VPRO in 2006, he made programs for "RidderRadio", founded by Willem De Ridder; he also started the weblog "Radiowerk".
