Perth radio icon Freddy Botica reflects on his life and career in his memoir ‘Sure Beats Working’.
Botica’s radio career began nearly half a century ago with an unexpected stint on Radio Hauraki, a pirate station broadcasting from a boat moored 80km north of Auckland and wrapped up nearly 30 years later as the most recognisable voice on WA radio, most of it hosting the top-rating Botica’s Bunch breakfast program for Mix 94.5.
