What It Felt Like Being Sean Menere on 94.1FM 3WBC

Sean Menere’s story is anything but linear. He recently joined me on 94.1FM 3WBC to explore the turbulence and triumph of a life that’s shifted from air traffic control to counselling - with stops in Antarctica, fatherhood, and emotional upheaval along the way.

What has emerged is an articulate, caring man, guided by curiosity and courage. T...

Easter Sunday 2025, I was joined on the show by a guest I’ve known for every single second of her 30 years — and, if we’re getting technical, even before that, when she was giving me heartburn, and heart attacks with in the lead up to her grand entry into the world.

All said, this amazing woman is my first true love. The most beautiful princess in all the land and, quite frankly, one of the scariest people I’ve ever met.

To wrap Men's Health Week 2024, and inspire conversations beyond, I went to air at 94.1FM 3WBC with a very special and spontaneous radio show that showcased a story that had not yet been told.

One guy di...

I recently caught up with fellow community radio presenter Leah Veenhuizen on her fabulous show "Just a thought" at 94.7 the Pulse.

Earlier this year, #2 son and I attended one of the many amazing Melbourne International Comedy Festival events.

We were not nearly well enough prepared to have our sides split and possibly our pants wet, from the night’s headliner, Ashley Fils-Aime. 🤣

Supporting a mystery line-up of some of the best festival comedians, Ashley did not fail to keep the laughter level at “11” throughout the entire evening.

Looking a little ...

Mike Rolls is a survivor of one of the deadliest diseases on the planet - meningococcal.

One day in 2001, this sport-mad teenager headed off on a football trip and then overnight, was fighting for his life, with only a five percent chance of living.
