Well what a, uh, three and a half months! I’m a bit of a workaholic so I need to be rather careful. When there’s enough work to literally keep me busy 72 hours a day, prioritising (something I’m not very good at) is important, to get that down to 8 hours. It usually ends up [...]

Suddenly moving to the helm of a radio station – especially at this time of year when a plan is needed for the year ahead, when a new board has recently been appointed that has only really had one meeting so far, and when you really haven’t got any experience managing a radio station yet [...]

I haven’t written much yet on my reflections of almost three weeks in my new job, and it’s 11 o’clock at night now so this certainly won’t be a long post. But [...]

It’s the end of one season and the beginning of another. To someone who puts a lot of time and effort into anything I do – and because naturally work takes up the most of my time – changing jobs is a huge thing. A huge seasonal change. And that’s exactly what’s happening now. Yes, [...]

For the last two weeks, I’ve been rising at 5am to run the 1WAY FM breakfast show from 7-9, in the absence of James Scott. And what fun it has been! James is actually back now so my reign on the breakfast show has come to an end, but during it I learnt alot about [...]

In all my time off work at the moment, one of the new things I’ve taken on is announcing at 1 Way FM, Canberra’s Christian radio station.
