Ep 106 - 'Waiting For Whitney' With Barry Bissell

Well known for spending 20+ years counting down the biggest hits in the land with Take 40 Australia. Barry Bissell kicked off his radio career in Swan Hill and from there developed quite a career. How many announcers do you know that have been requested to interview Elton John?, spent 45 mins taking Stevie Nicks and Michael Jackson while on tour? Now living a quiet life in suburban Melbourne this week I have a chat with the very man that started it all for me. Listening to take 40 on a Sunday afternoon was my introduction to radio. This week it's our 50th Episode and I couldn't think of anyone better to share the occasion with.
