On Friday night smoothfm’s Glenn Daniel celebrated the launch of his autobiography, “News Time: A Life In Radio”.
Around 150 media and guests joined Daniel at Doltone House on Sydney’s Jones Bay Wharf to celebrate the launch of the book, which details his 35-year career across seven iconic radio newsrooms and brings to life the people, stories and behind-the-scenes events from 1982 to 2017.
Journalist and author Leigh Hatcher was the MC for the evening and guest speakers included Nova Entertainment CEO Cathy O’Connor and SBS director of audio Mandi Wicks.
Guests attending included Today show host Georgie Gardner, Nova Entertainment Sydney general manager Luke Minto and smoothfm newsreaders Steve Blanda and Ron Wilson.
“News Time: A Life In Radio” is on sale now at newstime.media.
With Daniel having survived cancer and open-heart surgery, all profits from the sale of his book will be donated to the Cardiac Research Unit at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital for its world-first valve replacement program without open-heart surgery.
