Summary
Details

In a long and successful career, Roger Summerill OAM worked with many of the biggest names in Australian Radio as an Announcer and later in station management. In this frank and revealing memoir Roger chronicles his life and career. He reflects on the many big personalities he encountered along the way from radio stars like John Laws, Malcolm T Elliott and Richard Glover to the biggest show business names of the last fifty years from Australians like Normie Rowe and John Farnham (and a pre-fame encounter with the Easybeats' Stevie Wright) to international superstars like Roy Orbison and Elton John.

He also discusses the importance of family and community, and the role that faith has played in his life.

Roger worked in the Australian Radio industry for more than fifty years as an announcer at Sydney's 2UE and 2UW, in the 1960's and 70's, before transitioning into senior management roles in NSW and Western Australia. He also helped train a later generation of radio personalities and managers in the early days of the Australian Film, Television and Radio School.

in 1999 he was awarded an OAM for services to regional tourism and to the Shoalhaven region of NSW.
