Freddy Botica reflects on his life and career

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.
