There aren’t many people I would get up at 5.30am five days a week for (Tom Hardy aside) but Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli is one. Technically I got paid to get up at 5.30am five days a week as I was the ‘Fitzy & Wippa’ breakfast radio show’s publicist for 4 years…

 

Wippa (the shorter one of the radio comedy duo in case you needed to ask) is a bloody good human. He is very funny (don’t tell him I said that), an incredible family man who loves his wife Lisa and his three children (Ted Jack & Francesca) to the moon and back.

 

If Wippa hadn’t made it in radio, then I think eventually one of his hair brain ideas (sorry – amazing inventions) would have succeeded. He is still convinced that he came up with Google Maps years ago…

 

Regardless I am just glad I get to call him a mate and get to laugh at him, I mean ‘with’ him regularly. I loved our podcast natter – hope you enjoy it too.
