Andrew Mulligan on Crowd Goes Wild’s Glory Days Steven Adams, Olympic Interviewing Strategy

Andrew Mulligan is one of the most employed people in New Zealand media.

You can hear Mulls on breakfast radio on the Rock breakfast show, it’s a fantastic show that’s been performing at a gold star standard for years.

You can watch him on TV in the evenings on Crowd Goes Wild, a show that he’s been involved with since it launched back in 2006. Then when the ad’s come on you’ll hear him on the Rebel Sport commercials.

If you are flying somewhere, you will see him on the Air NZ safety video.

And if you have watched the Breakers play basketball, chances are you have heard his commentary. Or seen him interviewing Olympic athletes immediately after their events.

I have my theories about Mulls success and employability in the media which is a notoriously fickle industry.

Firstly, he is incredibly talented and very funny.

Alongside his talent he has an incredible work ethic and is very easy to get along with. You would struggle to find anyone who says a bad word about Andrew Mulligan.

This is a part of the Mulls story.

I’d like to think of this as an attempt to deconstruct one of New Zealand’s most successful broadcasters, a peak into the mind of the guy you don’t get to see with his numerous on-air roles.
