Smoothfm’s head of programming Peter Clay believes Watkins will click with the audience.

“Emma is just a delight to listen to and work with. She has a vibrant energy and love of music, which our listeners will love hearing on the weekends.”

It’s a busy time for Watkins, who took over the yellow skivvy from Greg Page in 2012. Along with hosting the ABC Kids television series Emma!

she’s currently doing her PhD in ‘Creative integration of dance, sign language, light, space and film editing’ at Macquarie University.
