Lewis McKirdy changed the way Australian youth radio presenters think about talking on the radio.

His unique style, instantly recognisable voice and unflappable temperament allowed him to cut through the airwaves.

In 2016 he decided to take a break from radio and move to London. He’s mixed it up career-wise since then, spreading his wings. But he’s still the same loveable larrikin.

I asked him to reflect on those triple j days, but we also discuss the best-tasting fruit and his job driving an animal ambulance.
