Lee Simon is a legend in Australian Radio, TV & Music and is an Australian Radio Hall of Famer. You may know him from his incredible radio career spanning close to 50 years, as the host of the boundary pushing TV show, Nightmoves or the pioneer of AFL broadcasting on FM radio.

It was an honour to sit down with such a legend and hear his incredible life and unorthodox entry into the wide world of radio.

Lee is about to share with you how he got his first gig, his rise to the top and the highs and lows along the way.

Lee shares what life was like in the rock and roll scene in the 70s. From the Melbourne pub rock scene, to interviewing the biggest artists overseas and across the world, you're about to hear some wild stories.

We hear about his fondest relationships in the business and how they're formed...plus, the superstars of music who he enjoyed interviewing the most.

On the flip side, find out the band he kicked out of a studio for their poor attitude!

Lee is also known for his pioneering of broadcasting AFL on FM radio. You'll hear the story behind it, the headhunted talent he went after and what has made it such a staple of the sport.

And of course, Lee shares a couple of hilarious stories including the infamous Sam Newman "****wit" comment!

Rexel Shocking Confessions returns with a cameo from Lou Reed of all people and so much more.

Sit back and enjoy the legend who is, "Lethal" Lee Simon!
