RADIO & PODCAST
Since 2004, I have grown a passion and addiction for all things broadcast media throughout both radio & podcasting. In this time, I have hosted over 4000 radio & podcast episodes and interviewed more than 2000 guests. There is nothing that makes me happier in life than sitting in front of a microphone and talking.
Between 2004 and 2017, I hosted five distinct radio shows at Hobart’s Edge Radio. My flagship program,
The Brink, ran from 2006 to 2015 as the station’s breakfast show and developed a devoted cult following in the competitive Hobart market. Over the years, I interviewed a fascinating range of guests — from King Charles to three Australian Prime Ministers.
Beyond The Brink, I hosted Australia’s only first ever Formula 1 radio show, the country’s sole Survivor-themed radio show, and an adults-only program that blended risqué content with education. My final Edge Radio project was a lunchtime entertainment show that refreshed and reinvented elements from The Brink into something new. From 2011 to 2016, I also served as Edge Radio’s Interviews Coordinator, managing guest bookings and interview scheduling across the station.
From 2018 to 2020, I co-hosted The Ben & Mal Variety Hour on Radio Southland in Invercargill, New Zealand. As one of the station’s few live shows, it built a strong local audience and earned syndication across New Zealand’s North Island.
My first foray into podcasting began in 2011 when I launched Survivor Oz, Australia’s only Survivor podcast. In 2017, the show was rebranded as The Oz Network, a TV & movies podcast that ran until 2024. Currently, I host Off The Podium — the world’s number one Olympics podcast — delivering unique, one-of-a-kind content to a large global audience.
Previous podcasts I’ve hosted include Double Oz Seven (focused on James Bond), The Qualifying Lap (Australia’s first Formula 1 podcast), EurOzvision (on Eurovision), The Brink (a rebranded podcast based on my former radio show), Australian Survivor Archives (covering the history of Australian Survivor), and a daily news podcast for The Capital Daily, a longform journalism site based in Victoria, Canada. As the inaugural host, I delivered daily news to thousands of Canadians, with the show consistently ranking among the country’s top 20 news podcasts.
My podcasts have received several honours over the years, including:
- Sports Podcast Awards winner for the 'Best Olympic & Paralympic Podcast' (2022 & 25 for Off The Podium)
- New York Times '6 Olympic Podcasts to Whet Your Appetite for the Olympics' (2021 for Off The Podium)
- #1 on the 'Best 25 Olympics Podcasts' by Feedspot (2024 for Off The Podium)
- Best International Website at the Czech & Slovak Reality Awards (2013 & 14 for Survivor Oz)
- Australian Podcast Awards nominee for the 'Creativity Award' (2021 for Off The Podium)
- Listener.com & The Independent '5 Olympics podcasts to listen to this week' (2024 for Off The Podium)
Throughout my broadcasting career, I’ve also worked extensively as a play-by-play commentator across multiple sports.
I was proudly known as “the voice of ice hockey in Tasmania” during my time as play-by-play commentator for the Tasmanian Ice Hockey League from 2011 to 2017. I also served as colour commentator for the Peninsula Panthers in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League on Hockey TV during the 2020–21 season. Additionally, I hosted and commentated Edge Radio’s live coverage of the 2014 KFC Big Bash cricket tournament.
I was honoured to serve as the first-ever audio producer for Australia’s A-Leagues, where I created and produced a wide range of podcasts through the KEEPUP audio network. In this role, I received a nomination for “Best Sports Podcast” at the 2023 Australian Podcast Awards.
My love and passion for all things broadcasting is accentuated throughout my career in the industry. Seriously, I love talking. A lot. And this is reflected through my enthusiasm and passion for every broadcast that I have ever been involved in.
