“I love the amount of preparation and research you do for the segments, it makes it a real conversation rather than promotion. The way you had something to add to each thing we were discussing is exemplary old-school broadcasting. Heck I always walk away having learned many things!” Craig Donarski Director Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre
