Talking to Alice in The Alice

A Day in the Life No Comments »

A couple of weeks ago I started chatting to ABC Alice Springs Mornings presenter Alice Brennan. I’m meant to do a weekly wrap up of politics, but usually end up running down tangents to make her laugh. So if you’re in The Alice on a Wednesday morning at 9.40am tune into 783 AM…

What do Tiger Woods and Matthew Johns have in common?

A Day in the Life No Comments »

Well nothing. Expect they were both mentioned in my weekly entertainment report on 2GB. But don’t worry about that. Worry what exactly was going on with Tiger Woods and his woozer when she smashed in the back of his SUV with a golf club. And why won’t he talk to the cops? Is it because the scratches on his face could lead to them charging his wife with domestic violence? Well find out the answer to that and so much more by clicking here and listening…

In the Great hall with the Great men

A Day in the Life No Comments »

Went back to Uni of the weekend to do the annual Alumni vs Students comedy debate. We were debating the proposition ‘The GFC is a plot by Alumni to keep university students in their place’. On my team, all decked out in academic dress, was Rob Carlton of Chandon Pictures fame and Adam Spencer the alchemist behind many an ABC radio and TV show. The Usyd students however were the stand outs, funny, smart and gracious… as tradition says the Alumni must win… a great day.

King Kyle and the festival of schadenfreude

A Day in the Life No Comments »

The most interesting aspect of Kyle-gate hasn’t been his lack of any real contrition, the mysterious whereabouts of his co-host Jackie O or the lie detector stunt at the centre of it all. It’s been the unbridled festival of schadenfreude in which most in the media and the wider community have indulged themselves since news of his error. Even before this latest incident there were literally millions of people who thought what Sandilands does on radio is… click HERE to read on.

Is Google racist?

A Day in the Life No Comments »

Why does my poo float? Why do black people smell? Why does my cat lick me?  Why do white people love Wayne Brady? These are some of the most asked questions in the world according to Google’s latest feature – ‘Google Suggest’ – which pre-empts what you might be about to type into the search engine and suggests shortcuts to it. Its purpose might be to save time but its bi-product is nothing less than a unique look into our collective consciousness. For example if you type…click HERE to read on.

Is monogamy unnatural?

A Day in the Life No Comments »

A massive 40% of marriages end in divorce. Is this why more societies in world history have been polygamous than monogamous?

A Day in the Life No Comments »

We live in a youth obsessed culture.  Death, illness and spirituality have become less and less a part of our lives as we’ve lived longer and rejected religion.  So what would you do if you knew you were going to die in just a few weeks?  Tonight on Dare I Ask? we ask a terminally ill teen, a campaigning Pastor and a man who talks death every day what they would do.  Tune on TVS (Channel 31) at 9.30pm or watch live here on the net.
