JOSH SIM
I'm an 18 year old from a very quiet(most would say slow) town 30km north of Newcastle called Thornton.
My interest in radio stemmed from an early awakening at the age of probably 10 to the shock jocks like Kyle Sandilands and Roy and HG, I thought to myself, "this is magnificent, how do I become that!" and more recently found immediate solace in Hamish and Andy.
I hope to ultimately achieve a perhaps a breakfast or drive slot as a comedy duo, trio or even solo, but I would never rule producing out as i particularly enjoyed it.
But in summary, if your looking for an egotistical, smart alec young jock with a tendency to use crazy antics for a laugh, look no further!
