Paul Makin on 2UE
February 12th, 2007 at 08:22pm
Clive Robertson is apparently busy this week, so Paul Makin is filling in on New Day Australia for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning. John Kerr will be back on Friday, and next week remains a mystery.
Paul Makin
Paul has been a journalist and actor for many years, and was a host on Adelaide’s commercial talk radio station 5AA from 2001-2003. Long term 2UE listeners would remember Paul as the reporter on the scene of the Granville train disaster of January 18, 1977.
I’m not overly familiar with Paul’s work so it will be interesting to see how he handles middawn talkback.

Thanks for the info. Samuel.
If I’m still up after midnight I’ll turn the radio on. (I certainly wouldn’t be switching it on if Robertson was doing the show).
Oh…and regarding the town of Robertson – it’s famous for its
BIG POTATO (very apt) !

Hiya Samuel
Shall be interesting to see how Paul Makin “makes out” on the graveyard shift.

Hi Samuel,
That’s interesting that Paul Makin will be on 2UE – he just recently finished a run on 2GB overnights. I wonder if his producer, Mark Kennedy, will be running the phones.
Cheers,

That would explain why I recognised him as a radio person…because I certainly didn’t hear him on 5AA! I seem to recall spotting his name or photo on the 2GB website not that long ago.
None the less, this will be my first time hearing him on the radio.
Thanks for the information Frankster.
