‘Around the Grounds’ – with Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli Radio Royalty, family man, musical genius and Guinness Book of Recorders holder…

There aren’t many people I would get up at 5.30am five days a week for (Tom Hardy aside) but Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli is one. Technically I got paid to get up at 5.30am five days a week as I was the ‘Fitzy & Wippa’ breakfast radio show’s publicist for 4 years… Wippa (the shorter one of the radio comedy duo in case you needed to ask) is a bloody good human. He is very funny (don’t tell him I said that), an incredible family man who loves his wife Lisa and his three children (Ted Jack & Francesca) to the moon and back. If Wippa hadn’t made it in radio, then I think eventually one of his hair brain ideas (sorry – amazing inventions) would have succeeded. He is still convinced that he came up with Google Maps years ago… Regardless I am just glad I get to call him a mate and get to laugh at him, I mean ‘with’ him regularly. I loved our podcast natter – hope you enjoy it too. @wippa1 Fitzy & Wippa can be heard 6-9am Mon to Friday on Nova radio in Sydney and 6-7pm Mon to Friday around Australia on the Nova Network – ONCE A PUBLICIST ALWAYS A PUBLICIST Hosted on Acast.
