From a young age it was clear that Ash London had but one ability in life – the gift of the gab. Lucky for her, that gift has landed her on television screens and radio dials for the better part of her 20’s.  After forcing herself to attend university for three years, where she earned a bachelor of communications in media, Ash set off on a London adventure that cemented a lifelong love of live music. After revelling in Ray La Montagne at Royal Albert Hall to watching a then unknown Ellie Goulding at a Camden pub, she decided that she would actually die if she did not secure a career in the entertainment industry. A few short years later it all paid off when she beat 1200 other contestants and landed her first TV gig, hosting Saturday morning music show The Loop, a role she enjoyed for three successful years.  2014 saw her branch out into radio, co-hosting Australia’s longest running radio chart show Take 40 with Angus O’Loughlin, and then launching Shazam Top 20 around the country every night across the Today network in 2015.  Continuing both shows in 2016, it was also the year that saw her serve on Australia’s first ever Eurovision Juror Panel, and also host Junior Eurovision on SBS. Ash has also made regular appearances on Ten’s The Project, and Dirty Laundry Live for ABC. She also appears as an entertainment host worldwide on Redbull TV. In 2017 Ash returned to radio, launching her national nights show across the HIT network - Ash London Live - celebrating her music passion weeknights around the country.  Her work has seen her interview everyone from One Direction to Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande to Adele, Bruno Mars to Slash. She’s talked colonics with MGMT, enjoyed a piggy back from Ed Sheeran and been invited to be the stand-in backup bass player in 5 Seconds of Summer. Also once she voiced a condom commercial which didn’t go down too well at family dinner.  Game Changer: Radio Game Changers: Radio is a show dedicated to the radio industry.

Wendy Harmer is one of the pioneers of FM radio for female presenters in Australia. She was the first female host to take a lead role in a key metro market breakfast show, and her ratings dominance in Sydney for more than a decade is yet to be matched by any female host on FM. She began her radio career in the mid 1980s on Saturday nights at 3AK, and then moved to drive ABC Radio National. She was on the board of the first ever Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 1987, and even performed a stand up routine Harmer and Stubbs at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival with fellow game changers Richard Stubbs.  From 1993 until 2004 she hosted The Morning Crew on 2Day FM with Paul Holmes and Jamie Dunn (who was later replaced by Peter Moon). She has also made her mark as a children's writer (for the Pearlie, which has been turned into an animated show), playwright and dramatist. She returned to radio in 2016 as host of ABC Sydney's 702 Mornings with Wendy Harmer.

Fifi Box got her first break on the national stage as co-host of MMM's Shebang with Marty Sheargold and Byron Cooke. The show reached #1 around Australia in 2004. Her on-air chemistry with Marty is still recognised as one of the most potent combinations on FM. Fifi moved to the Today Network in 2008, hosting a national weekend breakfast show before taking on national drive with Jules Lund in 2011. The show became one of the first truly social, multi-platform shows on radio. Fifi now hosts Fifi, Fev and Byron on Fox in Melbourne.  'I just realised I’ve got to give this everything... You've got nothing to lose… I will give you everything I’ve got, because I know what it’s like to fold people’s clothing and do their ironing, and I didn’t love that.'

Amanda Keller's contribution to radio and the community in Sydney has been so good over such a long period that she was awarded an Order of Australia in 2016. If it’s true that great storytelling is at the heart of radio’s connection to its audience, then it is easy to see why Amanda is recognised as an elite radio performer. She started her career at 2MMM in the late 90s on the Andrew Denton Breakfast Show, and their on-air partnership resulted in a #1 show. In more recent times, Amanda has reached #1 again with her great mate Brendan Jones on Jonesy & Amanda - a feat few broadcasters have achieved in the Sydney breakfast market.  'They want your loyalty, they want you to share your life, particularly breakfast radio, that's the gig... You share your life and people respond to you, and then you can be told to leave without even a chance to say goodbye to your audience.'  Game Changers: Radio is a show dedicated to the radio industry. Get in touch with our host Craig Bruce on Twitter @cb_bruce and our producer Jay Mueller @bad_producer.

Along with Jane Hall, Chrissie Swan led Melbourne’s first all-female breakfast show on Mix that went to #1 in 2014. In 2016, she co-hosts Chrissie, Sam and Browny on NOVA's breakfast show.  Chrissie is one of radio’s best storytellers, and her warmth and honesty has delivered audiences to every station she’s worked on. In this interview, she reflects on life, career and confidence. 'Lots of people are working hard, but I feel really great about where I'm at. The show's great. My family's great. I'm very lucky'.
