Back To School With Geoff Field

Back To School With Geoff Field

Back to School With is... well, back!

Meet the politician who spent his teenage days selling late-night pancakes (and now spins the decks).

Meet the radio newsreader who had a knack for always getting out of class.

Meet the screenwriter who was once a child gymnast.

In the second season of our webseries 'Back to School With', we interview some more fascinating Aussies about their school days, to find out how they landed their dream careers and the obstacles they faced along the way.

In the seventh episode of Season 2, we speak with Hamish and Andy's former newsreader Geoff Field. He told us what it was like growing up with a broadcaster's voice and how his transition to a career in radio eerily reflected the climax of the movie Wayne's World. He also apologised to the girl he took to the school social, during a time in which he felt he had to hide his true sexuality from the world.

Check it out!


NB: This interview was recorded when Geoff was still working for The Hit Network. He is no longer with the station.
