Makin gained prominence for his on-the-scene reporting of significant events. While working as a radio journalist for 2UE Sydney, he was the first news reporter to arrive at the site of the Granville rail disaster on January 18, 1977. His early radio reports provided crucial initial information about the disaster, one of Australia's deadliest rail accidents, which resulted in 84 fatalities.
Later, as a radio journalist with 3UZ, Makin covered the 1983 America's Cup in Newport, Rhode Island. He provided radio reports from the event, notably offering firsthand accounts from alongside the Australia II yacht and aboard The Black Swan with Alan Bond during the unveiling of the yacht's revolutionary winged keel.
