Who is Angela Catterns?

Angela Catterns, AM, is a well-known Australian media personality and broadcaster. Mostly known for her work on Australian radio, currently presenting 2UE Afternoons, she has presented Mornings on Triple J, the National Evening Show on ABC Local Radio, and Breakfast on 702 ABC Sydney. She freelances as a voice-over artist and MC for corporate events and charity fundraisers, and regularly teams up with Australian humourist and broadcaster Wendy Harmer to present a holiday season version of the Breakfast Show on 702 ABC Sydney. During her time at 702 Sydney first presenting 'Breakfast', Catterns temporarily displaced prominent Australian radio broadcaster Alan Jones in 2004 to achieve number one in the listener survey ratings. Catterns has also held broadcasting roles at Australian commercial radio stations 2SM and VegaFM in Sydney, and at WKYS in Washington DC. Catterns's popularity as a radio broadcaster is often attributed to her "perfectly measured combination of intellect and personality", her listening and interviewing skills, and a voice described as being “smooth as chocolate” or “as if her vocal chords have been marinated overnight in plum brandy and golden syrup”.
