“The same empathy, honesty and wisdom that made greg’s radio interviews so irrepressible has found its way onto the pages of this book. Greg writes as eloquently and intelligently as he speaks. This is inspiring stuff.”

— Hetty Johnston AM, Founder of Bravehearts.


“For many years Greg was one of the best and most respected broadcasters in queensland. he has spent a lifetime talking with the great and the mighty and his many thousands of listeners. he gained a great knowledge of life and the attitudes that dictate what we do every day. This book has helped me to review and upgrade all my values and beliefs. I know that you will enjoy it as much as I have.”

— Everald Compton AO, Founder of National Seniors and the Inland Rail.

“I was most grateful to have worked with Greg at 4BC in Brisbane for well over 10 years. He possessed much wisdom, empathy and was of a high intellect, this combined with his enormous work ethic made him an invaluable teammate and outstanding broadcaster. It came as no surprise to me that in 2006 Greg was awarded as Program Director of the Year at the annual Australian Commercial Radio Awards. What many people may not be aware is that at the time, he was also performing his own talkback show. This was an incredible achievement and almost a rarity in a capital city market. I always found conversation with Greg extremely stimulating and entertaining. Having read his book, I believe that anyone who does the same will gain some valuable insights into Greg’s life and his reflections and values on life itself. A must read.”

— David McDonald, CEO Community Care and Transport Incorporated (Former General Manager 4BC/4BH – Brisbane)

About greg

After 30 years behind the microphone, Greg Cary was widely regarded as one of Australia’s most versatile and balanced talkback hosts. Here Greg pulls back the curtain on his life in media and beyond.

An Absence of Certainty recounts many of the influential figures Greg interviewed, his colleagues and the issues he covered. He weaves these between generous anecdotes about the experiences that shaped him, his audience, the media industry and the world more broadly. Invested with the characteristic warmth and humility that Greg’s audience came to know during his acclaimed career, An Absence of Certainty lays bare all that’s shaped him - wounds and all.
