Talk

My 20 years at ABC Radio was a thrilling time where I turned on the microphone for the most powerful and powerless in society.

I hosted Mornings, Drive, Breakfast, Weekends and Evenings. Live radio is an adrenalin rush where you’re responding to breaking news and steering conversations that have very real consequences in people’s lives.

From politicians to pop stars to the person who wanted a local issue raised, no day or show was ever the same.
