This was a very cool and wide-ranging conversation with a legendary Australian Journalist, Melissa Doyle, where we got into the good, the bad & the ugly of journalism, inspiring stories, parenting and aging against the machine.

An accomplished and awarded journalist with more than 30 years experience, Melissa is one of the best-known and trusted voices and faces in Australian media. Melissa spent 25 wonderful years at The Seven Network, having hosted the 6PM News,  Sunrise, 11am, Ansett News, Today Tonight, The Zoo, Where Are They Now, 4pm News, 7pm News, Sunday Night and The Latest.

Melissa is the weekend breakfast host for radio station Smooth FM. In 2014, she won the Australian Commercial Radio award (ACRA) for Best Newcomer (Metro) and in 2018 Best Music presenter (metro). In the 2016 Australia Day Honours List Melissa was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for her "significant service to the community.

Melissa has written four books, “The Working Mothers Survival Guide” in 2007, her best selling memoir “Alphabet Soup” in 2013, "15 Seconds of Brave" in 2022 and "How to Age Against The Machine" in 2023.  

Clearly a chronic underachiever!!
