Justin Gregory’s parents were some of the first inhabitants of Twizel in the Mackenzie Country where he was born in 1971. The family later moved to Turangi in the North Island.

Starting his working life in theatre and events in Aotearoa and Australia, Justin has worked in media for almost 20 years. He began his career at RNZ as an intern in the Spoken Features department and branched out into audio documentary making, live presenting and on-air producing – he’s won more than a dozen awards in New Zealand and internationally for his work.

Now a team leader for RNZ Podcasts, he says the thing he enjoys best is helping to develop the storytelling skills of the next generation of RNZ producers.

Outside of RNZ, he runs UnstuckOpera, an award-winning independent opera company with his partner Frances Moore. The Underarm, a play Justin co-wrote with David Geary about an infamous incident in a cricket game in Melbourne in 1981, had seasons in Auckland, Wellington and Palmerston North, toured for nearly three years to festivals around New Zealand and Australia, and annoyed every Australian cricket fan who saw it or heard about it.
