Gary Farrow
Since his first days at university it has been Gary's dream to become a journalist.
During his studies, he listened to good music on his discman, gradually grew out of his Marxist phase (not really) and, of course, joined the bFM news team.
Now everything's come together - Gary hosts the Monday Wire, maintaining his non-partisan credibility and asking the questions a potential patsy would certainly value hearing answered.
Every Monday Wire features 'The Southern Cross' - our Pacific news segment with Alex Perrottet from the Pacific Media Centre.
