Brendan "Jonesy" Jones

Brendan “Jonesy” Jones is a radio presenter and one half of WSFM’s incredibly successful breakfast radio show, Jonesy & Amanda with Amanda Keller.

Brendan started his career at the community radio station 2BCR in Bankstown. In 1990 he got the night gig at 6KA in Karratha, Western Australia before doing mornings and afternoons at 2NM, Muswellbrook and then arvos at i98 in Wollongong.

After living the regional radio life Jonesy started working in the big smoke with gigs on B105 Brisbane and Triple M Brisbane & Sydney.

Brendan got the call up to host the breakfast show on the soon to be revamped WSFM and said the only way he’d do it was if he got to co-host with Amanda Keller.

Luckily Amanda said yes because they’ve now had one of the longest-running shows on Sydney commercial radio.

In this episode, Brendan “Jonesy” Jones talks about the move that changed his career, why you can never trust Jules Lund on a red carpet and why he thinks the hours are the best thing about his job (remember, he's a breakfast radio host.....WTF???).
