Sam Mac is a radio and television presenter, prolific content creator, cat lover and the Sunrise weatherman.

Sam Mac started his career in radio by winning a competition on SAFM which resulted in him getting a hosting gig with the station. Over the years Sam worked on a number of shows including The Freq Show with model, Imogen Bailey, drive on SAFM, the Milly & Lehmo breakfast show and the Hot30 Countdown.

In 2008 Sam started working as the anchor and writer on the drive show, Wil & Lehmo. After that show was cancelled he moved to Perth where he co-hosted the Em & Sam Mac Show on 92.9. In 2011 he resigned from the show to pursue a career in television. A move that paid off because he’s now got one of the most high-profile jobs in TV.

In this episode, Sam Mac talks about how a bunch of middle-aged women got him his first gig in radio, why people are always asking him for relationship advice and what it's like being a "global phenomenon" (his words).
