I returned to air on 936 ABC Radio Hobart Breakfast last Wednesday, after taking a break on long service leave. 
 

About mid-way through my leave, I realised I was hungry to come back to ABC Radio Hobart Breakfast. The people, the conversations, and the opportunity to interrogate the world around us is so unique. It is such a privilege and pleasure to work with ABC Radio Hobart listeners, to sift through the evidence-based truths and ideas for living that help us thrive, and just have a bit more fun. 
 

The ABC Radio Hobart audience (that’s you!) are distinctive not by demographic, income, fashion or status. I think the uniting aspect is you are people who listen and are people who care. That force of community and collaboration is life-giving and proven through time to allow the greatest number of people to flourish in their lives. 
 

This year I am aiming to bring more of your voices to air, right across the station. So get this number in your phone – 1300 222 936, call or text into ABC Radio Hobart to have a chat and be heard.
 

See you for Breakfast, Monday to Friday from 5:30am on 936AM, digital and the ABC listen app.
