Mornings with Leon Compton

Leon Compton Leon Compton loves mornings when they involve fishing, surfing, sleeping, reading the papers and eating food covered in bacon.

In 2008 he is keen to know if presenting the Morning show is as much fun.

In four years in the NT his list of ‘birds seen’ keeps growing as does his list of barra that got away. Weekends will find him at the footy or in the mangroves, the scrub or on the water.

On Mornings 2008 – whatever you’re talking about at home, in the car or in the office Leon is talking about on the wireless.

Regular chats about music, sport, weather, council matters, roads, the world and the weird will feature every day.

One of the highlights of the Morning Program is The Guestroom.

The Guestroom is an easygoing hour-long chat with people about their life and passions, their job, achievements, early beginnings and adolescence, family, etc. We have talked with authors, business identities, comedians, activists, sportspeople, scientists, good Samaritans, politicians and musicians.

Some of our previous guests former chief justice and NT administrator Austin Asche, architect Ross Connolly, former chief minister Shane Stone, entertainer Don Lane, author Louis Nowra, musician Colin Hay, NT Solicitor-General Tom Pauling QC, actor William McInnes, former federal minister Carmen Lawrence, scientist Bart Currie, local Darwin identity Sandra Lew Fatt, comedians Lano & Woodley, columnist Bettina Arndt, chef Stephanie Alexander, activist/ musician Michael Franti, money expert Paul Clitheroe, former rugby star and bestselling author Peter FitzSimons... the list goes on and on!

If you have a suggestion of who we should invite into our guestroom, please drop us a line - letting us know why you think they'd keep us glued to our radios.
