He started off in the mail room, made his way up to the board room and he has been a major influence in radio across three states. Rather than a pilot, he is more of an air traffic controller, plotting the course for the pilots to follow and in his 57+ year in the business, he's seen it all...and that's no BS!! It is a great 50 minutes or so with Brendan Sheedy. Enjoy!

This week's pilot reflects upon a career that was 53 years in the making. From learning his craft in Gippsland to perfecting it Melbourne, our guest is simply an Australian radio icon. And even today when he uses the phrase 'the greater 3UZ', it is said with conviction, authority, familiarity... and pride! 'It's John Vertigan!" Enjoy!
