Andrew is the lead presenter of his Monday morning shows, Good Morning Rockingham (GMR) from 9 am to 12 pm. GMR is an easy-going show that delivers three separate segments each hour. These segments keep listeners up to date with the latest daily news, cinematic topics, and NRL news.
Hobbies and Interests
Outside of IPL, I produce films. Recently, I filmed a promo video for IPL and shared it on the IPL page. I hope that one day I can produce content that is NRL-inspired. Besides filming, learning about history has been one of my favourite things. The idea that humanity has continuously failed to learn from history has fascinated me to delve deeper into all sorts of history, except the political aspect.
What inspired me to volunteer and start GMR?
I joined IPL one month after IPL was first established in 2019, so I operated several shows before GMR. During COVID, I led a movie segment at IPL with four other co hosts: my daughter, a popular YouTuber, and an acquaintance. After that show was over, I started my second show with Trys and Nick. We aimed to deliver a Christian show that was highly driven by interviews, but I later moved on again to solely create my show, GMR.
Throughout my years with IPL, one of my biggest achievements is the ability to invite guests and give them a safe space where they can express their own opinions. For example, during the Federal election, I held interviews with politicians so they could share their campaign with all IPL listeners and even got the opportunity to meet the CEO and coach of the Perth Bears.
Favourite music/topic to talk about live
Currently, I am interested in all types of music, but I enjoy tuning into Christian music live. During my show, I try to engage listeners more through music. But during the times when I don’t play music, I enjoy sharing about airline and cruise safety – these discussions can be relevant to events that have happened recently.
My form of motivation
It is a guarantee in life that everyone experiences a tough time. However, it is how a person combats the challenge. I much prefer going outside and interacting with people, rather than feeling idle at home.
