TripleM Adelaide

We like to think of Ali Carle as Triple M born and bred. After all, she started her radio career wreaking creative havoc in the promotions department 7 years ago.

These days, she’s much more mature, but we’re still not letting her near the prize cupboard.

Ali’s one of those people who does well at just about everything. She plays piano, flute and sax (but not at the same time), she’s an author, has an honours degree and started an impressive TV career as a Sports journalist in 2004.

Ali knows Adelaide backwards. She’s a mad Roosters fan, loves the Fleurieu Peninsula, cooks Mexican, plays netball and has a sensational sense of humour.

She’s almost perfect. Oh, apart from biting her nails…and we suspect she snores.
