Sherry Grant - Can you tell us about how you got into broadcasting and when you decided that this was for you?

Keith Keller - I had a show, a little radio show, after school, in high school, in the 80s, and, you know, I went to school in, you know, year 11, and I went after school, rode my bike up to the radio station, and I would play songs, and I thought:

"This is good. This is fun. This is what I want"

The light bulb went off right when I was 16.

I thought, This is what I want. I want to do this.

So I moved to Melbourne in 1984 I went to radio school in 1984 three times a week for a year.

Unfortunately for me, and a lot of creative people are like this, we I didn't crack the my ultimate goal, but I it's in my blood.

So, I went into the world and bought a house and got married and did all the sensible things but back in I got back into it in 2006 through a site called Blog Talk Radio, which is very similar to what clubhouse would become in 2020.

I did this show via my phone in 2008 actually till 2010.

We did 108 shows and we did a show once a week, on a Monday.

.... and it just got me thinking:

"This is it? This is what I want to do."

This is what I want to do, to promote I was working for myself by that time. This is how I want to promote myself.

This is what I prefer.

I don't like to write, I can speak in public, but I found that quite tiring.

.... but I love talking on the radio, and so I've been doing it ever since 2008 and I love it, and we've been doing lots and lots of shows together, haven't we?
