Pitching to Radio

Want to secure a radio gig for your brand, your celebrity talent, or a well-known name? 

Fitzy and Wippa are household names throughout Sydney, and the rest of Australia for their daily lols in the morning. In this episode, I had the delightful opportunity to talk shop with Lucy Polkinghorne, the show’s senior reporter, and all-round funny lady.

Lucy is smart as all get out, hilarious …and kindly informed me just prior to going on air that she was getting comfy for the interview aka undoing the top button of her jeans.

As a bit of a newbie to being on the other side of the interview…this lady normally does the interviewing, Lucy shares generously about her career spanning TV and radio.

Lucy’s experience span news, sport, current affairs, entertainment, and weather having worked for Nova Entertainment, Sky News, Channel Seven, Fox Sports News, AFL Sydney Swans, BBL Sydney Sixers, NRL Canterbury Bulldogs and NRL.com.

In this episode Lucy shares:

• What she a day in life looks like as a senior producer for one of Australia’s most well-loved radio shows

• What’s involved in being a weather gal and how she undertook a crash course in meteorology

• What she’s looking for in a great pitch, breaking down the segments of the Fitzy and Wippa show
