Her morning program, The Margaret Throsby Show, on ABC Radio Sydney (then known as 2BL), won high audience ratings.

Guests came from a wide range of backgrounds, including "Prime Ministers, divas, trailblazers and humanitarians", and the guests' lives, work and musical interests were explored in wide-ranging interviews.

Her interviews based on this format spanned around 25 years.

1996
