East Coast Radio - Catch Up East Coast Breakfast

How did Darren Maule get hired? (Naveen Singh)

Loading player...
We speak to Naveen Singh, the programming manager of East Coast Radio back in 2011 when they were looking for a new presenter for the breakfast show.

Nobody really knew how it would work out but he loved Darren's storytelling ability. From 0 seconds you can tell that Darren and Naveen Sign are not just mere former colleagues but lifelong friends. They laugh, they rewind back to Darren Maule's first time on-air and to the stories of Darren before his sobriety.

Take a listen to why he took a chance on Darren Maule.
