Former co-host of the Today Show and host of Sydney Live on 2GB, Ben Fordham has just become a dad.

At 17 Ben got his first job in the media industry. By 21 he had won his first Walkley award for his coverage of the 1997 Thredbo Landslide. Since then he has split his time across radio and TV, working on 2UE, 2GB, Sky News, and across the Nine Network.

I chat to Ben about leaving the Today show, becoming a dad and escaping conviction of 2 years jail time after a hidden camera report.

Thanks to Ben Fordham
