About Angela Catterns
- Angela Catterns, (born 30 September 1953) is an Australian media personality and broadcaster.
- Mostly known for her work on Australian radio, she has presented Mornings on Triple J, the National Evening Show on ABC Local Radio, and Breakfast on 702 ABC Sydney.
- She is also a podcaster, writer, interviewer, MC, facilitator, narrator & voice over artist.
- She presented with Australian humourist and broadcaster Wendy Harmer 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 Vega 95.3 in Sydney, 2UE and at WKYS in Washington DC.
- Her 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" (The Sydney Morning Herald) or "as if her vocal cords have been marinated overnight in plum brandy and golden syrup" (Elle Magazine). In 2003, Catterns conceived the ABC 702 ‘Knit-In’, harnessing the knitting prowess and goodwill of 702 listeners, in collaboration with the charity Wrap with Love, for an annual knitting event at ABC Headquarters.
- The ‘Knit-In’ has been an annual ABC event ever since.
- In addition to her involvement with Wrap With Love, Angela Catterns is an ambassador, volunteer and supporter of the charity Habitat for Humanity Australia and The Public Education Foundation.
