The Wrap finishes for 2010 in style. Catch Leon, Alexia, Jade, Flavia and Tara for a special final episode this Friday, wrapping up the year from 8:30 on Melbourne's C31.

Every year at SYN we have turnover of our volunteer leadership roles, and we're excited to have just appointed the team who'll take over in 2011.
 
Thanks to everyone who applied - it was an incredibly strong field of applicants again this year.
 
These people will work with the 2010 team to handover and learn the ropes, and be pumped for a fantastic 2011 at SYN.
 
Without further ado, here's the 2011 team...

"Every day in Australia, at least fifteen C-grade celebritites get asked to do 20 to 1. Why can't Leon be one of those?"
 
You may remember a fresh-faced Leon Sjogren from 1700 circa 2007, but these days he's the host of our latest C31 program The Wrap - Fridays at 8:30.
 
'Like' the campaign to score Leon a coveted guest commentator gig on Channel Nine's 20 to 1.

Scott Pape, also known as the Barefoot Investor, cut his media-making teeth at SYN in 2003 doing his own Sunday afternoon radio show. He’s now forged a hugely successful career as a financial adviser, writer and broadcaster.
 
To show his gratitude, Scott has invested $1000 in the future of SYN, where he got his start in broadcasting.
 
Big thanks to Scott for his Giving and Loving!
