Favourites Simon Owens

It's amazing how many nice people I continue to meet. I reached out to Craig Huggins to see if he would appear on Favourites. Not only did he agree, we recorded this episode in his studio at Gold while he missed out on the Superbowl despite his team playing in it. Enjoy Huggy's story from growing up in Coburg to discovering his passion for radio and his surprising collection of one particular tv show memorabilia.

Brendan Nottle is the best example I can think of when I hear the phrase "give until it hurts". The recording of this interview was delayed because Brendan found someone who was in need of help at the time we were booked in to record. Then he apologised to ME as if delaying this mattered. There honestly should be a statue to him somewhere but you'd never hear him agree to it.
