Angela Catterns - Angela Catterns
Angela Catterns is a well-known and much admired Australian media personality and radio presenter.
Best know for her work on Australian radio, Angela has presented Mornings on Triple J, the National Evening Show on ABC Local Radio, and Breakfast on 702 ABC Sydney, where she went to number one in the ratings in 2004.
Angela currently freelances as an interviewer and presenter, voice-over artist, and MC – hosting proceedings for countless conferences, corporate events and charity fund-raisers. She regularly teams up with Australian humourist and broadcaster Wendy Harmer to create podcasts and present an annual holiday season of the Breakfast Show on 702 ABC Sydney – described as the ‘hit of the summer’.
Angela is also an independent podcast producer, short story and feature article writer, and is currently collating a collection of memoirs from her career.
In 2003, Catterns conceived the ABC 702 ‘Knit-In’, harnessing the knitting prowess and goodwill of 702 listeners, in collaboration with the charity Wrap With Love, for an annual knitting event at ABC Headquarters. The ‘Knit-In’ has been an annual ABC event ever since.
In addition to her involvement with Wrap With Love, Angela Catterns is an ambassador, volunteer and supporter of the charity Habitat for Humanity Australia and The Public Education Foundation.

Mrs Woog – Woogsworld
Mrs Woog can be found in the laundry, folding laundry, sorting laundry and dropping off the dry cleaning. She is a mum to two boys, boss of her husband and master of a cat and two guinea pigs.
Come nightfall, she watches TV while tweeting which drives Mr Woog insane. She likes to read cookbooks and eat out.
During her waking hours she ferries kids around in the Mazda while drinking takeaway coffees and listening to talkback. She used to work in the publishing industry before she realised it was nothing like Elaine from Seinfeld made out like it was. Now she writes this blog.

Kim Palmer Berry – AllConsuming
Kim Berry is a freelance journalist who has worked in communications roles for almost 20 years. She has worked for print media, government and private sector clients. She currently writes on the environment and risk management for Thomson Reuters as well as having a blog and several first paragraphs of the next Great Australian Novel.
Her passion is to write with good humour and pragmatism, to engage an audience and to maximise the impact of the materials she is working on. She finds people infinitely fascinating and loves nothing more than telling the world about something they might otherwise not know or have thought of from that angle.
