  • The 18-year journey to the ‘On The Talking’ podcast

    What this guy said:

    That’s right! What started as the ‘On The Yacht’ radio show back in 2008 and became the TV series ‘Good Afternoon Adelaide’ (2018-20) is now ‘On The Talking’. The full 10-episode first and possibly only season of our talkback radio parody podcast is now online. No AI. No ads (well, no real ones). Completely free to listen to.

    I reckon eps 6-10 are the better ones. Find them yourself or enjoy this selection of embedded links.

    In other news, after seven months of writing, I’m planning to shoot a new season of VHS Revue later this month.

  • 50 Years of VHS

    This month VHS marked 50 years since the video format was first released in Japan. Channel 9 made a whole thing about it and being somewhat of an enthusiast, I contributed a short bit explaining what a VHS tape actually is. I guess I was cheaper than using AI like they did with their 70 Years of TV special.

    If you were wondering how I did that trick where I pulled all the tape out of the cassette – and VHS Revue fanatics might recall I also did the same gag strolling through Galactic Video back in Episode 34 – tedious news!

    Here’s a video explaining how I removed the reel lock mechanism to allow rapid tape extraction with comical ease:

    New episodes are coming.

  • Free-to-air TV in Sweden vs. Australia

    Who’d have thought watching free-to-air TV in Australia and Sweden would be so different? To be honest I still don’t entirely understand it… Here’s me trying to make sense of it.

    More importantly though… New episodes of VHS Revue coming soon!

    No conditional access module required.

  • Adelaide Tonight

    Good to join Scott John and Big Al on their show ‘Adelaide Tonight’ last week. Talked about On The Talking, VHS Revue, Mad As Hell and that time I pulled Bob Francis’s girlfriend’s hair in 1988.

  • More On The Talking

    Hello,

    We’re into the second half of the debut season of ‘On The Talking’ now (Eps 6-10 are the best IMO).

    If you haven’t listened to Australia’s smoothest podcast, just start with Ep 6:

    And here’s the latest one:

    Also cheers to radioinfo for the nice write up!
