Show Notes
He has one of the most familiar voices and faces in Australian television, but it was in radio that Pete Smith had his initial media experience, first at the ABC, then as a 3AK Good Guy. His versatility behind the microphone continued at 3UZ and even more so on FOX FM in the mid 90s. It's a great 55 minutes of reminiscing with "Pete Smith Speaking". Enjoy!
