What a treat this episode is! You will notice I am very up and about in this recording. Mel really has a way of bringing out that side of someone. We had a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy listening and learn something from her worldly wisdom.

Mel Tracina is a radio announcer on Nova 100. You can hear her weekdays between 1pm-3pm. She started working on air at Nova in 2018 and in this chat, we dive deep into her journey leading up to her current position. We explore the ins and outs of how to create a successful career in radio and how it all works behind the scenes, which includes moving out of Melbourne and working in the regional town of Dubbo for 7 months. We talk about the fun parts of the job, as well as the challenging parts such as presenting and being on air during tough times such as the Australian bushfires.

We also chat about her amazing podcast Social.Just.Us which is a beautiful philanthropic project where she uses her media and radio skills to help those in need. In the podcast she interviews people from all walks life with interesting life stories of hardship, bringing awareness to various topics and how to help.
