50 Years Without a Real Job 

Tony Pilkington, or Pilko as he is affectionately known, is a well know and much loved radio legend.  He spent over 20 years on the famous Bazz and Pilko breakfast show which was initially aired on 5AD in Adelaide in 1976 and then moved to Sydney in the early 90’s.  The show was always enthralling, often riotous and never dull.  In 1997 Bazz and Pilko retired and moved back to Adelaide.  On his return Pilko, joined the Rotary Club of Adelaide and was a very active member, utilising his endless skills and abilities, in hosting and MC’ing many RCA functions and also some for the Rotary District activities.

Pilko was inducted into the Australian Commercial Radio Hall of Fame in 2011 and a few years later he and his wife Anne, moved to Queensland to be with family.  While Pilko joined the Brisbane Rotary Club he continued to return to Adelaide to assist the Adelaide Rotary Club comparing functions like “Not the Test Match Dinner”.  Pilko has recently moved back to live in Adelaide again and has kindly agreed to talk with us about his life in radio which he has titled “50 years without a real job”.  He is also going to briefly elaborate on some of his “Conversations with Bradman”.
