DARREN JAMES
During Buy, Swap and Sell hosted by Darren James, 3AW becomes a trading post, trash and treasure market, bulletin board and garage sale, all rolled into one. If there are any items at all to be bought, sold or swapped it's on Darren's popular morning show.
Darren says his most unusual item for sale was Monty the 10-foot python and a couple about to get married who were looking to buy a black and white cow needed for their wedding ceremony.
Along with co-host Jane Edmanson, Darren also provides questions and answers about gardening topics that range from plant selection, water saving and pests and diseases on Jane and Darren's Big Backyard. He hosts Streetwise, The Big House and the always fiery Sunday Morning program as well.
Buy Swap and Sell can be found on the 3AW.com.au home page every Saturday and Sunday.
