    Yo! I’m back fulfilling the dream on the writing team for the 4th series of Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell! So if you haven’t already been enjoying some damn fine Australian news-based television comedy, make sure you tune in at one or all of these times:

    Or there’s ABC iView and a selection of clips on the Mad As Hell YouTube Channel, like this one (one of my favourites from this season):

  • Ladies and gentlemen… The Hon. Tony Windsor, MP…

    Click the image to hear my “interview” with independent MP Tony Windsor two days after he put Julia Gillard into power, and one day after admitting he doesn’t know how to use a computer.

    I am loving this impression!

  • Julia Gillard soundboard prank calls!

    Hello!

    With only two days until the federal election, I thought I’d give Prime Minister Julia Gillard a helping hand by impersonating her electronically and calling some “Working Australians”…

    Julia Gillard Soundboard Prank Calls!

    It’s been quite a busy couple of weeks getting this stunt off the ground. Thanks to producer Tim Cuthell for begging me to do some more prank calls and getting the ball rolling. Thank you to the team at SYN for supporting my idea and getting the tech guy to come in last week to alter the control panel in the production studio that allowed me to actually make these calls. And thanks to Charles and Luke from Get Cereal. It was a real pleasure this morning. The most fun I’ve had on radio in quite some time.

    My guest appearance is now a regular thing. Tune in every Thursday 8:30am to hear me goofing around and paying my dues with David M. Green’s Community Service! Or go here to listen to past material.

    Kind regards,
    David M. Green

  • “Interview” with Tony “Captain Catholic” Abbott

    Greetings,

    It’s been a while since I’ve done an interview, and hey, I’ve just bought a new microphone, so for no other reason than to pursue the TRUTH… I stormed right up to Parliament House and demanded to speak to the Prime Minister. However, Kevin Rudd was busy. Think he was out to lunch. But newly elected opposition leader Tony Abbott had nothing better to do… I’ll also take this opportunity to test out this new embedded audio player, which should help to make podcasting fun, instead of the tedious chore that it presently is. Enjoy.
