Understood, wasn't suggesting you needed to make it relevent. Just putting some balance into the new broader listener base they get. Will suggest that the Ownership of Hutchinson's company (iirc) won't help it be better to listen to because the commercial imperatives have been elevated. If I had a choice I might listen elsewhere, but it is still better than the alternative. The council example is bit a redundant becuase council doesn't really have a competitor as an alternative - SEN certainly does, so vote with your feet if want Nantes!
I hear what your saying , I lived in Brisbane in 94 and 95 and it was torture getting info . The one newsagent our of about 30 used to get about 2 copy’s of the paper , if you were late then too bad !
Having said that , 25 years later are we any better off ? we get bombarded with Sur Sanctimonious Whatley , Andy Maher ( I like hus nostalgic mutterings) and Lyons virtue signalling, and this is in between what seems to be 20 minutes of ads ( the all inspiring nick the coach , jacks whose dad is Pete , the angels of business pffttt ) , and when we get to talk about stuff it’s usually AFLW ( sorry not for me ) , Whatley trying to be a moral compass or Lyon bleating on about the greatest midfielder ever Clayton Oliver . then they shove A League down my throat , like it’s even relevant ! At least Kane Cornes is deliberately being a prick !!
Yep we can tune out , but Eddie , Neil , John Faine are the same sanctimonious pompous alternative.
Thank goodness for Tigercast Tiger Talk etc , and the Age Footy podcast is great as well.
Rant over .
