Was talking TV with Mike Welsh over at Canberra’s 2CC this week. First up was Andrew Hansen’s new show Strictly Speaking which is kind of half Australian Idol, half high school debate. Then we turned our minds to Katy Perry and the recent problems her poorly restrained mammaries have caused her kid’s TV career – don’t cry too much though cos she’s got a host of other gigs out of it… like a part on The Simpsons. BTW 2CC have gone all internet 2.0 and are tweeting and facebooking like crazy… check it out here.

Absolute ripper show on 2SER this week. We yak to the self-styled leader of all hipsters, Eugene Clifford, yummy mummy and activist Amanda Tattersall and Newtown’s controversial Ban the Burqua Man. Get involved by sending us an email at fridaydaily@2ser.com or tweet at @thefridaydaily.

So when I say intelligent I mean it’s not rabid right wing garbage. Let me explain – a mate and I have started a show on 2SER – it’s talkback without the racism and conservative claptrap. We’ll ape the form but not the content. Instead of offering simple solutions to complex problems we appeal to people’s intellect – not their emotions. We’re trying to start a genuine discussion with listeners. You can stream us on the web here.

As Oakeshott and Windsor hold a knife to our democracy’s throat it’s worth remembering what a campaign in a rural seat actually takes. And what it takes is a lot of driving. And sometimes you hit kangaroos… watch here.

If only the two could meet. Abby and Lisa have taken the world by storm – their crass idioticness a breath of fresh air after years of talent shows with weepy grateful contestants genuflecting before pompous judges. The deserve a segment on a show at the very least… in fact perhaps they could get a slot on Ben Cousins’ new show… we discuss it all on 2CC… podcast it here.

Had a yak to Joel Edgerton about why he threw a radio at Cate Blanchett’s head and how working in LA is actually like Entourage. We also had a rave about his new film The Waiting City, which is admittedly why the publicists served him up to me in the first place… watch here… (just scroll down a bit the video is there!)

To celebrate the release of The Runaways, the story of Joan Jett, I’ve put together a gallery of the top rock chicks of all time. They’re all there, from Courtney Love to Pink, from Peaches (pictured) to Meg White. Check it out here.

You didn’t think they’d be back did you? You thought they’d fade off in to the ether. Well how wrong you were. They’re back with an election special. As well as that they name the funniest politicians on the planet and reveal their new iPad app… and there’s even a video interview… so read, watch and hear what a fool you were to think otherwise here.

With Marion’s shock exit from the nation’s top cooking show it’s worth asking the question – what happens to MasterChef contestants? Well you saw them arrive blinking and bewildered into the showbiz world only a few short months ago… you watched them eat… you watched them grow… you watched them cry… actually you watched them cry a lot. And then you watched them.. want to keep reading? Click here.

I’m celebrating the release of Predators with a homage to the scariest beasts to ever menace the silver screen. Since its first outing in 1987′s Predator this killer has been reincarnated no less than five times on screen. The latest outing sees a band of Predators go head-to-head against Adrien Brody and Laurence Fishburne in a blood fest so big they had to create a new planet just to catch all the falling body parts. Course, he’s not the only terrifying sliver screen beast – who can forget the Rancor from Star Wars. Anyway, check them all out here.
