How is Andy going with Bob? Haven't listened too any of it yet. Have they started discussing about Vegan recipes and The Beatles back in '65?

I was listening today and Bob started making Native bird noises. Yes you read that correctly. He did the same last week. Scintillating radio.

The content feels a little B-grade. Something that borders on community radio.
To be fair, I don't mind Andy on radio, yet Bob can get tedious and strange (not in a good way) at times. Bob is designed for that weekly Tuesday one hour at a time stint. Just my opinion, don't know if others agree with me

I'm still giving them a go in the unlikely chance Bob starts to grow on me.

...Perhaps more so because there is nothing else to listen to on the drive home.

He woul have been doing that because in the 5 minutes I caught last week, Derm had a segment on himself as usual and was talking about his favourite bird and its call.. of course it was a bird no one has heard of with an overly long name just to try make himself sound quirky and smart - as he always is. He also went on to say that when parrots gather in trees of a night, all the chirping and chattering as the sun goes down is them telling each other what areas they found food in today

Criticism of Finey is bullcrap. I'm not saying his shows were perfect, but it was very good overall and was and contributed more to the station than what his place in the station/footy media would've expected.

A broad range of topics/themes/tones throughout the week would've had something for everybody. Conversely, there would be times you'd tune out of. But that's the nature of weekly shows like his.

It was pretty clear he put in more effort and application to his show than any other on the station earlier in the day.

Didn't have the benefit of a 20 year career as a journo or like. He was effectively a bridge between riff raff BF posters like us and those with a hardened presence in footy/sports media.

I can't say I liked all hours of his show. But from his pov, he can be justified in being proud in his work.

Gees for a moment there I had to check that Finey hadn’t passed away and this was a tribute by Dodgy! Or does Dodgy want a mention on his podcast?

He was good and I’d like him back but let’s not piss in his pocket. People have a right to criticise. Thought he could’ve been better informed on other sports and yes sometimes wasted too much time worrying about flogs.

I've tuned in and out over the past week or so and calling it b-grade community radio is putting it mildly (and a disservice to the great folks at RRR and PBS).

The amazing thing Bob Murphy has done is make Andy sound like a professional, million dollar, sold-gold radio dude.

Bob is so innocuous, so vapid and bland, Andy must be thinking he's landed in Weekend At Bernies 3.

Seriously, if a 'talent' like Bob gets to extend this experiment into a full-time caper next year, something is seriously wrong with this town. There would be dozens and dozens of people with more experience, wit, knowledge, street-smarts and basic personality for a radio gig than Bob.

like yourself ive tuned in for the odd 10 mins here and there over tha last few weeks & Agree with you 100%...those that believe you can compare murphy and mahers sporting knowledge and broadcasting skill with that of say KB or Finey just to use as an example ought to be institutionalised...i been listening to tv sports commentators,sports hosts.dj's,radio sport presenters etc for over 32 years,and even at this early stage i CAN tell anyone who wants to listen that murphy, is the least talanted,least knowledgable,least informed Full Time sports radio host to EVER grace the sporting airwaves/landscape in this countrys history...Andy must be thinking hes landed at' weekend at bernies 3'....LOL
Andys also thinking,' geez ive fallen on my feet here'.'.how good does this bloke make ME look'

Really interesting. I did not notice that. Having said that, i dont think the morning show talks much cricket at all.

RSN do between 645-7. Well that's what I hear. Possibly before then also.
 
Murphy is at the infancy of his broadcasting career. A 1 hour weekly slot on the breakfast show is nothing compared to a 5 day a week, 3 hour daily program as co host. I'm willing to give him time to learn abd work his way into the position.

To put him in one of the prime slots without really developing his broadcasting craft is a decision the station will have to live with.

Exactly. What's hilarious is that Bob is smart enough to know he's completely out of his depth, but hasn't ability to fake it. So he just comes across as pathetic and inept.

Pretty sure he'll walk at year's end and put it down to experience. He wouldn't want to be sacked. He'll be happy to keep a guest slot and will probably go back to some sort of semi-coaching somewhere.
