I guess that's true.

What do you think equipped you to be a communicator?

Like you say you're dyslexic, but you're so articulate.

Your written word is also articulate and you're an expert communicator.

Yeah.

Yeah, going to spit some truths.

And then so you found yourself in Brisbane with like a very unusual, after a bit of, you know, ping-ponging around, with a very unusual package of talents.

So behind the microphone and in producing and with a new sense.

And then you found yourself in front of the mic and that proved to be magic.

Well, that was, I think there was even a comedy sketch about Laughing Girl in radio.

That that was the laughing girl in radio.

Right.

It's funny though, but because you obviously loved it and you were drawn to it.

And mostly what you love and you're drawn to, you don't sit there going, I want to get in and change this thing I love and I'm drawn to.

So what was it that you loved even before you became aware that it needed some tweaking to accommodate women and the future?

Wow.

And also, I think highly prescriptive now, probably more so than ever.

I think there's probably very little freedom for a broadcaster, whereas you stepped into a space and you claimed your freedom.

So when you were broadcasting, when you first started Behind the Mic, was there a moment that you can remember where you told a story or you shared something that was slightly unusual but actually where the world rose to meet you and you went, oh, that's it?

That's actually every woman in, every public-facing woman, really.
