Glen Bartholemnew I strongly advise you to meet with Craig Hutchison, the CEO and managing director of SEN and sign to become a part of the SEN news team. They need someone with your experience as part of our new team. Please consider this you are too good not to be on radio.
Glen was fantastic on abc news radio.
I listen all the time and even though we never meet the voice on the radio they are our friend as we hear them every day.
It was very sad when Sandy Aloisi left and now Glen’s gone.
Very glad radio today has at least said something as their abc has not.
The newsradio site is gone as has the bio of all presenters.
Maybe if the sack one of their 28 lawyers on the payroll they could use the money they could use the money to get the site back and show respect to their staff.
Anyone know why Glen left?.

A true professional with a personal and authoritative style. Good luck with the next chapter.
Have been a dedicated listener more than 20 years. My toddler to teen listened to news with me, is now 24, and we still refer to you as Grandpa Tholomew
Wish you well
Really underrated talent! The skill and professionalism it must take to keep a rolling radio news network going would be immense. ABC NewsRadio will be poorer without him.
Will miss that superb speaking voice. An accent and intonation a joy to the ears.
