‘Around the Grounds’ – with Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli Radio Royalty, family man, musical genius and Guinness Book of Recorders holder…

<p>There aren’t many people I would get up at 5.30am five days a week for (Tom Hardy aside) but Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli is one. Technically I got paid to get up at 5.30am five days a week as I was the ‘Fitzy &amp; Wippa’ breakfast radio show’s publicist for 4 years…</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Wippa (the shorter one of the radio comedy duo in case you needed to ask) is a bloody good human. He is very funny (don’t tell him I said that), an incredible family man who loves his wife Lisa and his three children (Ted Jack &amp; Francesca) to the moon and back.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If Wippa hadn’t made it in radio, then I think eventually one of his hair brain ideas (sorry – amazing inventions) would have succeeded. He is still convinced that he came up with Google Maps years ago…</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regardless I am just glad I get to call him a mate and get to laugh at him, I mean ‘with’ him regularly. I loved our podcast natter – hope you enjoy it too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>@wippa1</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Fitzy &amp; Wippa can be heard 6-9am Mon to Friday on Nova radio in Sydney and 6-7pm Mon to Friday around Australia on the Nova Network – ONCE A PUBLICIST ALWAYS A PUBLICIST</p> <br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
