Richard Glover is a journalist and author. He is best known as presenter of the drive program on 702 ABC Sydney. His book Flesh Wounds was voted one of the top five books of 2015 by viewers of ABC television's The Book Club and was Readers Choice Award winner as Biography of the Year in the 2016 Australian Book Industry Awards.[1]

Life and career

Glover was born in Australia but spent some of his early life in Papua New Guinea.[citation needed] He graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Arts degree with first class honours.[citation needed] He has written 13 books, including the humour book Desperate Husbands, which was a best-seller in Australia and has been published in translation in Italy and Poland.[citation needed]

Glover used to present the radio show Drive from Monday to Friday, 3.30pm to 6.30 pm on 702 ABC Sydney.[2] He joined 702 ABC Sydney in January 1996, taking over the Drive segment from Mike Carlton. In 2004 he was awarded the Broadcaster of the Year Award for ABC local radio.[3]

Glover's writing for the stage includes Lonestar Lemon, which has toured nationally with Genevieve Lemon, and A Christmas Story, which premiered at the Sydney Opera House Drama Theatre in December 1998, with Richard Wherrett directing.[citation needed]

Glover is also a newspaper journalist. His weekly humour column has appeared in The Sydney Morning Herald since 1985. He has also worked as that paper's news editor, arts editor and European correspondent.[4] He also writes for The Washington Post.[citation needed]

In December 2011 Glover and Peter FitzSimons achieved a record for the world's longest radio interview, supervised by Guinness World Records.[5]

In October 2024, Glover announced that he would be leaving ABC Radio Sydney in November after 26 years with the broadcaster.[6]

Political views

Glover is an atheist, and says he "never managed a speck of interest in religion" but believes Christianity and religion should be tolerated by non-believers. In 2015 he wrote that "Marketplace economics is now the God of our time, and its priests are Microsoft, Apple and Google".[7] Glover supports same-sex marriage in Australia, which he says will be "entirely positive".[8]
