Alison Curtis: If I took a different fork in the road I think I might have been a hairdresser

My twin sister was over here for three months working from my house — it was the first time we lived together since we were teenagers so we had some sibling moments

I’m from Canada and was on my way to do a master’s degree in Glasgow when I got into radio in Dublin. I was with Today Fm for about three months before I got onto the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show and then each year would go by and I’d stay on and my work permit would be renewed. I ended up being on that show for 10 years. Then in 2002 I met my husband, so I never made it to Glasgow.

I actually studied anthropology at the University of Toronto but the moment I started working in radio, even as a producer behind the scenes, I just loved the creativity. I love the immediacy and how you can connect with listeners right away and the intimacy of it all.
