Brian currently co hosts, with Jacinta Parsons, 'The Friday Revue’, each Friday afternoon on ABC Radio Melbourne. He also hosts a national ABC radio show each Sunday evening called ‘Songs and Stories’. In 2012, he hosted 'Pictures Of You’ on Channel Seven. He was a writer/performer on ‘Let The Blood Run Free’ and appeared regularly on ‘Hey Hey It’s Saturday’ as the poet Raymond J Bartholomeuz.
