Bloody Sunday, December 10th 2006

> MP3 Download (2:59:34s / 72mb) Recorded from Triple J 101.5 Canberra.

Chris and Craig returned to Triple J this afternoon to start their summer hosting gig of Bloody Sunday. They last hosted in July so hopefully this should you get you through until Febuary or so when The Chaser’s War returns.

Not sure if they’ll podcast this or not, but for todays episode at least here is the whole thing avec music.

Relive the earlier Bloody Sunday’s here, here and here.

I’m not sure when I first got into Lateline, but I do remember it having something to do with Maxine McKew really putting Christopher Pyne in his place during one of the Friday night forums a few years ago.

Since then she has grown on me as an intelligent and honest journalist, a brilliant interviewer and engaging broadcaster. Tony Jones’ send off last night looked back at her amazing body of work and in his own words her ability to conduct “some of the best interviews ever done on Australian television”.

All this of course, in stark contrast to last Friday’s other farewell.

Myf Warhurst hosted last nights My Favourite Album on ABC. The third such special, which has so far included Jennifer Byrne with My Favourite Book and Margaret Pomeranz with My Favourite Film.

These list shows are very simple concepts (E! does about 40 of them a week), the ABC has done an awesome job with them, and as with the first two, I really enjoyed last nights.

The second video is Andrew Hansen doing his “Crazy Warehouse Guy” homage to Radiohead’s OK, Computer album, which is Australia’s 3rd favourite album, see the full list here.

I look forward to next years; My Favourite… TV Show, Blog, Sonnet, Magazine?

Naomi quits. Nation briefly more intelligent.

Naomi Robson’s five minute farewell certainly was a tear jerker (for her at least), and the cavalcade of well wisher was certainly impressive.. Kerry Stokes, and um, Steve Vizard.

Kochie and Mel’s invite to drop by Sunrise reminded me how rarely we saw Naomi outside of TT’s studio cocoon, and may be the reason that its so laughable that someone as unrelatable and insular as Robson thinks she can be Australia’s Oprah.

In summary: Fuck the autocue, I need to save a child you dummies!
