Dear Mark,
I have been listening to 6WF since the 1950’s as a young lad because my parents were keen listeners. The popular broadcaster in those days was John Juan. Over the past 70 years I have listened to a number of wonderful breakfast presenters on the ABC, however, I find you to be the best of the bunch. Enjoyable to listen to, a good format, great topics, interesting guests, your OB’s work well and a your program flows from start to finish. You always sound bright and cheery in the mornings which establishes a great to start to the day. I wish you all the best for your the future with the ABC. Kind Regards Steve.
