Simon Miraudo

( He/ Him )

I began volunteering at RTRFM in 2010 as a film and TV critic with reviews of Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom and Glee: S1. And now I’m the General Manager? I also co-host Movie Squad on Friday mornings.

About

Get to know Simon Miraudo

Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a journalist and editor, penning more than 1,500 film reviews, conducting hundreds of interviews, earning bylines in The Guardian among other publications, and also presenting on the ABC. Immediately prior to starting as GM at RTRFM in 2020, I was the Head of Communications & Membership at Student Edge. In 2023 I published my first book, titled BOOK OF THE BANNED: DEVILISH MOVIES, DASTARDLY CENSORS AND THE SCENES THAT MADE AUSTRALIA SWEAT.

On the air, I’m pleased to co-host Movie Squad on Friday Brekky opposite Tristan Fidler and Pam Boland. As GM of RTRFM, I’m honoured to play a part behind the scenes in keeping this station thriving, with the support of an amazing team and this incredible community. Please don’t hesitate to drop me a line or pop in to chat about how we can better share local music, tell local stories, lift the voices of the marginalised and under-represented, and strengthen our social connections. Or, come complain about one of my latest reviews on Movie Squad.

How did you become involved in the station?

I studied Broadcast Journalism at Curtin University under the tutelage of former Breakfast host Peter Barr.

Later, I would feature him as the voice of reason in my documentary on the Perth music scene. (It seemed sensible at the time.) Then, in 2010, having worked as a film critic for a couple of years, RTRFM summoned me to dust off the DVD on the Radio segment, where I was reunited with Pete on the air. After five years of baffling in-jokes and frequent MASH references, DVD on the Radio was retired and I was honoured to join the proud lineage of Movie Squad critics for Breakfast With Caitlin and Breakfast with Taylah.

You can now hear me on Friday mornings with Tristan Fidler and current Breakfast host Pam Boland. The in-jokes remain baffling.
