Alison Piotrowski

Alison began her radio career with the glamorous title of ‘handmaiden’. In reality, she was the researcher/phone girl for John Laws. Since Lawsie decided to hang up the golden microphone, Alison has been dabbling on both sides of the radio dial. By morning you can find her producing the Steve Price Morning Show at 2UE, and come afternoon she’s behind the DJ desk playing the latest music releases on Sydney underground music station FBi 94.5fm.
A fanatical runner, you can find her in her spare time pounding the pavement while listening to the French hip hop or National Public Radio podcasts.

I'm one of the older ones, so I've certainly seen a few changes in my time. When I started school I learned to write with a nib pen, dipped in an inkwell (no, I'm not kidding). My mother became a dab hand at getting inkstains out of my clothes. Flicking ink at one another in the classroom was an essential… [read more]
