Controversial former radio broadcaster Howard Sattler has opened up about his battle with a rare terminal illness in a raw interview with 6PR’s Steve Mills.
The radio shock jock was fired from 6PR in 2013 after an interview with former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, in which he asked if her partner Tim Mathieson was gay.
Reflecting on the interview, Sattler said being sacked created a “big black hole” in his life.“In retrospect I wish I hadn’t stuck my neck out, because I didn’t imagine I would be sacked.”
But now the former radio presenter is facing an even bigger challenge, after being diagnosed with a rare terminal brain disorder.
