Kim Blair: Finally A Guest From New Zealand

I met Kim Blair back in 2013. He was looking to make a change in
his radio career and was leaving Australia behind in search of a
more a country that was going to offer more of a challenge for
him. Consolidation has caught up with Australia and Canada as
well. In the months after we had dinner together, he found his
new home in Auckland, New Zealand, where the radio is as
competitive as any radio market names New York or Los Angeles.


Kim grew up in Perth, Australia and started his radio career
there. North Americans who have no grasp of Australia, don't
understand the sheer size if the country. Firstly, there are
those who call it an island... it is not. However, New Zealand is
an island. I have never really considered how remote Perth is
from other cities like Sydney and Brisbane. The driving and
distance is the same between Toronto and Vancouver. We also
discussed some of intricacies of radio in Australia, and how it
varies differently with the radio in New Zealand. He also
mentioned that New Zealand is a country that continually punches
over his weight when it comes to performance. (See Below) Kim is
also the first person from New Zealand to be in the podcast, and
the third with an Australian accent after Ronnie Stanton and Matt
Sutton.


You can connect to Kim's Voiceover website if you need an
