Trying to get a straight answer from Fairlie is like trying to dig out a splinter with a toothpick. So we’ll just make it up as we go.
Fairlie is the i98 On Air Newby but far from an On-Air Virgin (snigger). Wedged between Maje and Lachlan (she receives free counseling) you need to have your wits about you and never one to do things by half, Fairlie doesn’t just bring her halfwit to her show - she brings all her wits.
Passionate about music (is there nothing she doesn’t know about “Flock of Seagulls”?) and entertaining Fairlie’s bright and enthusiastic style helps the afternoon cruise by. And talk about laughs. Here’s an example of Fairlie’s wonderfully wicked off the cuff sense of humour:
Q: Fairlie
Fairlie: Yes?
Q: What’s your surname?
Fairlie: Goode
(uncomfortable pause)
Laugh? We almost did. But Fairlie isn’t your average hairy arm pitted, tree hugging, carrot munching tofu loving man hating night clubbing nose ring wearing bra burning feminist. No one’s ever called her AVERAGE. Her personality is larger than life and this shines through on air as she fights to contain her enthusiasm for any artist who she announces “we’ll playing in the next 10 minutes”.
But as Fairlie would say, “Who thought up these questions – they’re hard”.
