Gary Shannon was the king of Perth radio for decades. He and Jane worked together on the phenomenally successful The Morning Crew and at 96fm where they hosted breakfast. In this extraordinary podcast, Gary reveals some deeply personal details about his life. Intimate issues he has never aired in public. Why has Gary Shannon been known by three different names? And how has that affected him? Gary and Jane discuss the WA Premier Mark McGowan’s popularity, parochialism and Covid, with Gary saying “I’m over the double standards” regarding the politics of so-called hard borders. One rule for the rich, the famous and sporting stars, another for the rest of the population. In this wide-ranging discussion they talk about just what it takes to make great radio, and ask has political correctness ruined the medium or can it still be entertaining? Gary talks about being kicked off Facebook for a week and Jane asks him to pinpoint the catalyst for his extraordinary focus and drive. This is a podcast with two fearless broadcasters who know a thing or two about radio, who went on to become lifelong friends. Unmissable.
