Shayne Brian, the new host of The Long Lunch each weekday between 12 noon and 2pm, is no stranger to radio, starting his career in Rockhampton in the 90s.
Before that though, you could usually find him in the DJ booth of the local skating rink talking into muffled microphones and playing tragic Cliff Richard tracks.
Fortunately his music tastes have matured…a lot! Shayne is a vinyl fan(atic) and all round music history buff. He pours through the record collections to deliver the latest and the greatest records of all time. Plus the odd Cliff Richard album (come on, Wired for Sound is a classic)!
An avid podcaster, Shayne is one half of popular podcast comedy duo, The Bad Boys, kind of a cross between 60 Minutes and The Muppet Show. They have the discussions you want to have but just aren’t game to. #1 Comedy Interview podcast, #3 in Comedy Podcasts, featured on Weekend Today TV Show and Apple's New & Noteworthy.
Shayne has had the pleasure of interviewing amazing entertainers and musicians like Jefferson Starship, Toto, Jimmy Barnes, John Williamson, Leo Sayer, Cheap Trick, Journey, Angry Anderson, Diesel and James Reyne.
Although Shayne is a newcomer to Tasmania, his family was born and bred here with roots in Beaconsfield, New Norfolk and Ouse. The move to Tasmania from the Gold Coast was a welcome and much anticipated change.
