Matthew Layton is our early mornings newsreader who sometimes has to endure the pithy wit of Peter Newman. Matthew is currently in his fourth year at Curtin University, studying a double degree in Professional Writing and Journalism. He has had a keen interest in broadcasting since he was little, idolising newsreaders Rick Ardon and Greg Pearce, and like them he would like to persue a career in radio and television.
Matthew enjoys his early morning starts when he has to prepare the first bulletins of the day from all the stories that have emerged while most of us are sleeping.
He also says "I enjoy working with everyone at Curtin FM 100.1, as it feels like a really big family!"
When he isn't busy with his studies and work he likes relaxing with friends and sports-wise he supports the West Coast Eagles.
