"Spirit Drive with Matt Layton" was a live drive-time radio program I presented across regional Western Australia (tagline: 'from Busselton to Broome') from November 2015-December 2019. 

I steered the ship, but there were numerous contributors from the Seven West Media family, as well as countless entertainers, musicians, television stars and intriguing guests who shared their stories.

The show concluded amid changes to the ownership of the radio network.

'Black Fingernails Red Wine' was the soundtrack to my mid-late teen years. It was an honour to chat with the band in person and for the guys to play a song live!
