Chris Bath

Chris Bath is an Australian journalist, radio and television presenter. She’s currently the host of Evenings on ABC Radio Sydney and presenter of 10 News First Weekend on Network 10. Chris’ path to working as a journalist started when she was a waitress at a Sydney restaurant where she met Sydney Morning Herald columnist, Peter Bowers. After suggesting she should study journalism Chris put in a last-minute application and ended up winning a scholarship to attend Charles Sturt University. During her time at CSU, Chris was a regular on the university radio station and in her final year was offered at cadetship at Sydney radio station, 2UE. Over her career, she’s been at the helm of a bunch of TV programs including Sunday Night and The Project. And she was also a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. In this episode Chris Bath talks about her dreams of becoming a ballet dancer, how some less than constructive criticism helped her find her 'newsreader voice,' the most difficult interview she's ever done and how walking away from a high-paying gig can sometimes be the best decision you can make.
