The trendier among you may have woken up to the dulcet tones of our first guest during his highly successful breakfast radio show on Triple J with Wil Anderson.
The more sophisticated among you may recognise him from the current affairs TV shows The Project, Q&A and The Drum.
Those who have worked in events for a while have probably seen him MC some of Australia’s biggest shows - he did the first-ever public interview of Australia’s Thai Cave rescuers. You probably don’t know that he is also a TheatreSports Impro champion and was once voted the best University debater in the world.
And before all of that, he was actually a mathematician, studying for a PhD in Pure Mathematics at the University of Sydney before his media career beckoned.
Regardless of how you do or don’t know him, he’s here to help us “get our geek on” with his unique take on the amazing world we are all living in.
