His first break in radio was a breakfast show on Star FM in Gippsland which he co-hosted with Anthony "Becks" Toohey. In 2007 the show was networked nationally as the Southern Cross Network drive program The Benchwarmers with Ant & Becks. The show was named "Best Network Program" two years in a row at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRAS).

In November 2009, Simpson & Toohey were poached by the Australian Radio Network to present Drive and commenced broadcasting in January 2010. In April 2012, Toohey announced that he had resigned from the show to pursue overseas projects. The show continued with Simpson and new co-host Sami Lukis.
