Wendy Harmer is a Game Changer.
On International Women’s Day, Game Changers: Radio has released its interview with Harmer, and has also compiled a playlist of Women In Radio podcasts in the Game Changers series.
Wendy Harmer is one of the pioneers of FM radio for female presenters in Australia. She was the first female host to take a lead role in a key metro market breakfast show, and her ratings dominance in Sydney for more than a decade is yet to be matched by any female host on FM.
She began her radio career in the mid 1980s on Saturday nights at 3AK, and then moved to drive ABC Radio National. She was on the board of the first ever Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 1987, and even performed a stand up routine Harmer and Stubbs at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival with fellow game changers Richard Stubbs.
From 1993 until 2004 she hosted The Morning Crew on 2Day FM with Paul Holmes and Jamie Dunn (who was later replaced by Peter Moon). She has also made her mark as a children’s writer (for Pearlie, which has been turned into an animated show), playwright and dramatist. She returned to radio in 2016 as host of ABC Sydney’s 702 Mornings with Wendy Harmer.
The full Women in Radio playlist is below.
The playlist has brought together the Game Changers interviews with Australia’s leading female radio stars in one playlist, Women in Radio. Listen to Chrissie Swan
