Them’s fightin’ words, Mildura!! 🤣

Congrats to #AusAudioAwards winner “Them Yarns”! 🎉 Carly asked me to accept the award if they won, and I was thrilled to be able to do so. Haven’t heard “Them Yarns”? Start here👇🏼 🎧 From 41m10s, how not to do a Reconciliation Week morning tea at your workplace: open.spotify.com/episode/0who...

Congrats to Steve Ahern, Tim Burrowes and all who made the #AusAudioAwards such a fun event last night in Sydney. radioinfo.com.au/news/austral...

What’s in the bag? 🙋🏼 The brand new butter chicken pie from Stamford Road Bakery, Indooroopilly! 🙌🏼

Excellent chat with the Doctor (and finally I understand why he’s called that!) open.spotify.com/episode/3YQ8...

Working for Media Potential today at Mount Coot-tha, and who should I bump into but the legendary archivist John Power, who’s just clocked up ten years (and counting) digitising the Seven Network’s videotapes! 🎉

Brilliant film. Pleased we have it on DVD, so it’s always at hand. radiotoday.com.au/could-ken-sh...

Bin 232 at Pac Fair. Never fails. Cheeseburger spring rolls, haloumi tacos, and prawn and zucchini flowers.

A stunning day at Surfers

Park Ridge Probus, then down to Surfers for a Finn McCools spice bag! #radioteeshirt Rise 96.5 Brisbane Overheard: “Oo, I didn’t know he was a Christian”

On Redcliffe’s Bridge FM with Steve Dalton (talking about the importance of community radio) followed by 🇬🇧 fish’n’chips ‘n’ curry sauce!

Good morning Australia. Good evening Europe. Happy Eurovision to those who celebrate!

Karl Stefanovic and Barnaby Joyce on stage in Albury tonight. Who do you think called the other an a***hole? Enjoy.

Interesting placement of 7 logo on Karl’s live Farrer by-election debate www.youtube.com/live/8DD2nXG...

Talking radio with Wade and Criddo open.spotify.com/episode/5LQM...

Thankyou Brisbane Brewing Co. for having even numbered sharing plate items. Multiples of three make for more challenging maths. Unless there are three or six of you, I guess!!

Hot Tomato is a juggernaut but congrats today to the team at ABC GC, which is showing some very promising numbers. radiotoday.com.au/hot-tomato-s...

Back at the Princess last night, for UK band Public Service Broadcasting (video on next post in thread). Then, on the first of two buses home, noticed “Kgs”. Why not “KGS”?

Back at ya, Only Planes! (even though I called you Only Fans on ABC Brisbane over the summer!)

Didn’t expect to (apply to) join the Ipswich and West Moreton Beekeepers Association tonight! Also, bee-utiful URL! www.honey.org.au

Haven’t been to the Princess in years. Maybe decades. What a beautiful venue, and lovingly restored! Mel Bracewell was pretty good too!

XPT sleeper Sydney to Brisbane (with the bonus adventure of a 3am wake up call + coach replacement service from Casino):

The XPT sleeper from Sydney to Brisbane was going so well… We were late because police were called to deal with an antisocial passenger at Maitland. Should have been arriving at Roma St in 10 mins. Just driving through Kyogle.

Final day in Sydney. A chance to catch up with CMTO Pathways Coordinator Bella Forti - and at a railway-themed cafe! cmto.org.au

At the Australian Film TV and Radio School graduate showcase in Sydney. So good to hang with old friends and meet the stars of the future!

The #AusAudioAwards has a public vote as well as an industry jury vote. Here’s where you can have your say: shorturl.at/XLZBR

Just caught the new Mariyung train to Katoomba for lunch. Can’t recommend highly enough. Stunning views, food and wine. And autumnal leaves!!

“A new News theme will be heard from next week and … the old name Sports Today will return, to replace the Nine network’s Wide World of Sports name on the network’s evening sports show.” radioinfo.com.au/news/new-app...

#AusAudioAwards judging in Sydney. So good to spend the day listening to and discussing great radio and podcasts with fellow audiophiles. Winners announced May 28!

#motelart #sydney

Always good to catch up with Brisbane’s MC and Traffic Queen Olympia Kwitowski. And how’s this for a deal? The Fish Factory. You’re welcome!

Another fun time at Probus. Today, it was the Mt Gravatt-Pacific branch, where Catherine showed me her TWO Spencils! ✏️

Mmm beer… research!

Hop to the 13 minute mark to hear about my PhD fieldwork weekend in Mount Isa and the latest ratings in the Copper City: youtu.be/GWIKHEBQS8A?...

Exceptional bleu eye fillet (at The Buffs Club) to wrap up a four day PhD field trip to Mount Isa. Great place to visit. Come west this winter!

Looking forward to an evening of folk music at The Shack in Mount Isa

When in Mount Isa.. (I’ll have more to say about Mount Isa’s latest radio ratings - and my trip here - on “Media McKnight” 8pm Tuesday)

#motelart #NOtelart #mountisa

My view this morning was of Surfers. Tonight I’m in Mount Isa. Quite the radio metaphor, as Mister Brisbane explains: open.substack.com/pub/misterbr...

Great conversation about cancel culture / pile ons podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/b...

Waiting for the Greyhound from Surfers to Brisbane airport. The tram is right there but bus-replacement on the GC line, so I’ve opted for a coach. $31 and two hours, if you’re wondering.
