So next year your 50 00:02:17,085 --> 00:02:19,205 Speaker 3: breakfast show will be heard on Gold FM in Melbourne, 51 00:02:19,245 --> 00:02:21,765 Speaker 3: in Sydney, in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, though, will you 52 00:02:21,805 --> 00:02:25,285 Speaker 3: be heard on DAB digital stations or on the FM band. 53 00:02:25,165 --> 00:02:28,765 Speaker 2: Are beyond DAB digital stations there and there's a lot 54 00:02:29,045 --> 00:02:34,885 Speaker 2: of people available to grow over the couple of years 55 00:02:34,965 --> 00:02:38,044 Speaker 2: who are listening on digital radio. And this happened in 56 00:02:38,045 --> 00:02:41,445 Speaker 2: the UK about fifteen years ago, so that the national 57 00:02:41,525 --> 00:02:43,565 Speaker 2: radio show I did in the UK was on an 58 00:02:43,685 --> 00:02:46,765 Speaker 2: FM station in London. Only around the UK it was 59 00:02:46,805 --> 00:02:50,365 Speaker 2: all on digital radio. And you know, I grew that 60 00:02:50,525 --> 00:02:52,285 Speaker 2: show over the years. I did that for twelve years, 61 00:02:52,325 --> 00:02:53,845 Speaker 2: up to two and a half million a week we're 62 00:02:53,845 --> 00:02:57,365 Speaker 2: listening to the show. So the future of radio listening 63 00:02:57,365 --> 00:02:59,445 Speaker 2: in this country, as it's been shown with TV as 64 00:02:59,445 --> 00:03:03,364 Speaker 2: well it is about, is digital as well. So it's 65 00:03:03,365 --> 00:03:05,085 Speaker 2: a great way to be able to roll it out. 66 00:03:05,245 --> 00:03:07,365 Speaker 2: FM in Sydney and FM in Melbourne, two of the 67 00:03:07,365 --> 00:03:10,285 Speaker 2: biggest cities. It kind of like twin cities of Australia. 68 00:03:10,325 --> 00:03:12,325 Speaker 2: You know, ten or eleven million people, it's almost half 69 00:03:12,325 --> 00:03:14,965 Speaker 2: the country on FM radio and then the rest of 70 00:03:15,005 --> 00:03:19,045 Speaker 2: it growing it yeah, on digital radio, which is really exciting. 71 00:03:19,085 --> 00:03:21,885 Speaker 2: It feels like, you know, this is a first Australian radio. 72 00:03:21,925 --> 00:03:24,044 Speaker 2: There's never been a live, commercial breakfast show to go 73 00:03:24,085 --> 00:03:26,285 Speaker 2: around the country and the fact that it is in 74 00:03:26,325 --> 00:03:30,005 Speaker 2: the emerging technology of how radio is listened to, it's 75 00:03:30,045 --> 00:03:32,405 Speaker 2: really really exciting to do it. Once in my career 76 00:03:32,405 --> 00:03:34,925 Speaker 2: in the UK was incredible and I've missed it, you know, 77 00:03:35,005 --> 00:03:37,245 Speaker 2: much as I love being in Melbourne, you know, I 78 00:03:37,285 --> 00:03:39,965 Speaker 2: always hoped that if it went well enough and I 79 00:03:40,045 --> 00:03:42,405 Speaker 2: survived the first year and a half and to get fired, 80 00:03:42,845 --> 00:03:45,005 Speaker 2: I really would love the opportunity to make a national 81 00:03:45,005 --> 00:03:47,885 Speaker 2: breakfast show here that gave people an opportunity to actually 82 00:03:48,445 --> 00:03:51,365 Speaker 2: connect and come together, which I know radio does, but 83 00:03:51,485 --> 00:03:55,085 Speaker 2: actually not nationally. I just thought, you know, Australia is 84 00:03:55,125 --> 00:03:58,165 Speaker 2: such a it's quite a unique country. I've never known 85 00:03:58,165 --> 00:04:01,805 Speaker 2: anything like it where it's kind of divided. Obviously got 86 00:04:01,845 --> 00:04:04,125 Speaker 2: these state divisions, but it breaks down into even no 87 00:04:04,245 --> 00:04:06,765 Speaker 2: real national sport. And obviously the success of the Matilda 88 00:04:06,765 --> 00:04:10,485 Speaker 2: has showed us actually Australians desperate to come together. They 89 00:04:10,525 --> 00:04:13,285 Speaker 2: want they want excuses and moments to have a national 90 00:04:13,365 --> 00:04:16,485 Speaker 2: experience of shows like what it's like to be Australians 91 00:04:16,844 --> 00:04:19,164 Speaker 2: and to get around each other, and that's what I 92 00:04:19,205 --> 00:04:20,925 Speaker 2: want this show to do. When I saw what was 93 00:04:20,925 --> 00:04:23,325 Speaker 2: happening with the Matildas and those you know, the biggest 94 00:04:23,325 --> 00:04:26,404 Speaker 2: TV viewing events ever, bigger than any of the NRL 95 00:04:26,645 --> 00:04:30,125 Speaker 2: AFL Grand Finals, was the Matildas, and it was such 96 00:04:30,164 --> 00:04:33,484 Speaker 2: a It just reminded me that, you know, sport divides 97 00:04:34,284 --> 00:04:36,924 Speaker 2: often during the year. Device it's like, you know, well, 98 00:04:37,325 --> 00:04:39,844 Speaker 2: in New South Wales we don't care so much about AFL. 99 00:04:40,044 --> 00:04:42,685 Speaker 1: In Victoria's well, we're AFL here. 100 00:04:43,005 --> 00:04:44,924 Speaker 2: And it was a real kind of a lot to 101 00:04:44,924 --> 00:04:47,284 Speaker 2: get my head around when I first moved here, like Australias, 102 00:04:47,484 --> 00:04:49,925 Speaker 2: so wait, Australia's a concept, it's not a country. And 103 00:04:49,924 --> 00:04:53,085 Speaker 2: then that got even worse during lockdown when everyone was 104 00:04:53,164 --> 00:04:56,805 Speaker 2: like turning on dirty old Victoria for being unclean, and 105 00:04:56,844 --> 00:04:58,804 Speaker 2: it was just like what this is? And so yeah, 106 00:04:58,804 --> 00:05:01,884 Speaker 2: the show for me is it's offering people some choice 107 00:05:01,885 --> 00:05:03,925 Speaker 2: on the dial that if you want to wake up 108 00:05:04,044 --> 00:05:07,844 Speaker 2: with Australia and here people like you from all over 109 00:05:07,844 --> 00:05:11,404 Speaker 2: the country. That's something new, it's something exciting, and I think, 110 00:05:12,164 --> 00:05:16,325 Speaker 2: you know, we are in times of increasing isolation and loneliness, 111 00:05:16,325 --> 00:05:18,164 Speaker 2: and I just think radio is like this. 112 00:05:18,245 --> 00:05:18,484 Speaker 1: To me. 113 00:05:18,685 --> 00:05:21,124 Speaker 2: While I still love radio after twenty seven years of 114 00:05:21,164 --> 00:05:24,804 Speaker 2: doing breakfast radio is I think there's something quite special 115 00:05:24,804 --> 00:05:26,284 Speaker 2: about how it brings people together. 116 00:05:26,325 --> 00:05:28,724 Speaker 1: And I think we need that now more than any 117 00:05:28,724 --> 00:05:29,124 Speaker 1: of the time. 118 00:05:29,164 --> 00:05:32,244 Speaker 2: And with the rise of AI, which is happening like 119 00:05:32,484 --> 00:05:34,844 Speaker 2: day by day, week by week, is getting quicker and 120 00:05:34,844 --> 00:05:37,205 Speaker 2: bigger and becoming more of our lives, I think the 121 00:05:37,284 --> 00:05:40,164 Speaker 2: human connection is under threat actually, and people are going 122 00:05:40,245 --> 00:05:43,005 Speaker 2: to think they're talking to somebody when they're talking to AI, 123 00:05:43,164 --> 00:05:46,724 Speaker 2: and that is not human connection. It's something really different 124 00:05:47,445 --> 00:05:49,925 Speaker 2: and I'm noticing this in the last especially the last 125 00:05:49,924 --> 00:05:50,924 Speaker 2: couple of months, and I. 126 00:05:50,964 --> 00:05:51,964 Speaker 1: Think we're going to see more of that. 127 00:05:52,005 --> 00:05:56,645 Speaker 2: So radio bringing a country together and it's something that's 128 00:05:56,685 --> 00:05:58,525 Speaker 2: really in my heart. I think I did in the 129 00:05:58,604 --> 00:06:00,044 Speaker 2: u K for twelve years and I loved it. I 130 00:06:00,085 --> 00:06:03,004 Speaker 2: loved speaking to a bit of every day, whether in London, 131 00:06:03,085 --> 00:06:07,404 Speaker 2: whether in Manchester or Liverpool, and I can't wait. 132 00:06:07,484 --> 00:06:08,365 Speaker 1: It can't come soon enough. 133 00:06:08,604 --> 00:06:12,124 Speaker 3: Meet next year well Jonesy and Amanda, who've been hosting 134 00:06:12,164 --> 00:06:14,645 Speaker 3: the goldf Fan Breakfas show in Sydney for about twenty years. 135 00:06:14,685 --> 00:06:16,924 Speaker 3: They made a bit of a rushed announcement last week 136 00:06:16,964 --> 00:06:19,045 Speaker 3: that they'll be moving to afternoons from twenty two. 137 00:06:19,125 --> 00:06:20,804 Speaker 1: I know that work us up Friday.

The most important thing you 178 00:07:58,725 --> 00:08:01,645 Speaker 2: have if you're doing radio right, The most important relationship 179 00:08:01,685 --> 00:08:03,965 Speaker 2: you have is with the audience, and it's all about trust. 180 00:08:04,045 --> 00:08:06,285 Speaker 2: It's built on that. And so I get that they 181 00:08:06,285 --> 00:08:07,685 Speaker 2: had this big thing that was going on. It must 182 00:08:07,725 --> 00:08:09,325 Speaker 2: be hell for them to not be to talk about it. 183 00:08:10,045 --> 00:08:14,525 Speaker 2: And also radio is the leakiest industry in the world. 184 00:08:14,565 --> 00:08:17,525 Speaker 2: I've never know anything like it. It's like you work 185 00:08:17,565 --> 00:08:18,244 Speaker 2: with spice. 186 00:08:18,685 --> 00:08:20,045 Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent. 187 00:08:20,125 --> 00:08:21,845 Speaker 3: If that's the standard of our spies, We're we're in 188 00:08:21,885 --> 00:08:25,244 Speaker 3: trouble around the world, aren't we like this? Yes, I 189 00:08:25,285 --> 00:08:27,725 Speaker 3: wanted to ask you obviously got a text from Amanda Keller. 190 00:08:27,804 --> 00:08:29,845 Speaker 3: Who else have you heard from in the radio industry? 191 00:08:29,885 --> 00:08:32,285 Speaker 3: Any other stars reached out to you, shot you a text. 192 00:08:33,165 --> 00:08:33,765 Speaker 1: I tell you who. 193 00:08:34,125 --> 00:08:37,645 Speaker 2: The people that run the other radio stations have all 194 00:08:37,645 --> 00:08:40,325 Speaker 2: been sending me messages. I've got a friend who runs 195 00:08:40,564 --> 00:08:43,445 Speaker 2: is high up in the Nova network and he said, right, 196 00:08:43,725 --> 00:08:46,045 Speaker 2: we now have to have meetings about how to deal 197 00:08:46,084 --> 00:08:48,405 Speaker 2: with you. I like the fact that I'm going to 198 00:08:48,405 --> 00:08:51,525 Speaker 2: become a problem. I was seven years ago and now 199 00:08:51,525 --> 00:08:54,805 Speaker 2: I'm a national I'm a national problem. That might be 200 00:08:54,845 --> 00:08:57,925 Speaker 2: the title of my next book, a national problem. 201 00:08:58,125 --> 00:09:01,125 Speaker 4: Yes, what about Kyle and Jackie? Have you heard from them? 202 00:09:01,564 --> 00:09:01,724 Speaker 1: No? 203 00:09:03,845 --> 00:09:06,964 Speaker 2: So no, But you know what a when I've got 204 00:09:07,005 --> 00:09:09,765 Speaker 2: two big radio stows, the two big radio shows that 205 00:09:09,765 --> 00:09:11,605 Speaker 2: are going to be growing over the next couple of years, 206 00:09:11,725 --> 00:09:13,724 Speaker 2: and you listen to what you like, you listen to 207 00:09:13,765 --> 00:09:16,725 Speaker 2: the show that you connect with, and I think that 208 00:09:16,804 --> 00:09:19,925 Speaker 2: it's going to be a really really exciting couple of years. 209 00:09:20,045 --> 00:09:21,045 Speaker 1: It is. How could it not be. 210 00:09:21,485 --> 00:09:24,324 Speaker 2: This is a next This is the next big thing 211 00:09:24,405 --> 00:09:29,005 Speaker 2: happening in radio. It happened in the UK with networking 212 00:09:29,045 --> 00:09:32,564 Speaker 2: shows getting bigger. Look, I love radio, and none of 213 00:09:32,605 --> 00:09:35,965 Speaker 2: this is about killing local radio. I'm building a national 214 00:09:36,084 --> 00:09:38,885 Speaker 2: radio show. This is brand new. I'm breaking new ground. 215 00:09:39,285 --> 00:09:43,165 Speaker 2: Local radio isn't going anywhere. It's still really important, and 216 00:09:43,204 --> 00:09:46,045 Speaker 2: I think with national shows growing, I think it's just 217 00:09:46,245 --> 00:09:48,564 Speaker 2: I think it's just about choice, and it's people will 218 00:09:48,885 --> 00:09:51,005 Speaker 2: people will settle on the shows that they connect with, 219 00:09:51,365 --> 00:09:53,565 Speaker 2: and I think there's something really honest about that. 220 00:09:53,645 --> 00:09:54,165 Speaker 1: In radio. 221 00:09:54,285 --> 00:09:56,845 Speaker 2: I still think it's like it's built around human connection. 222 00:09:57,365 --> 00:10:00,645 Speaker 2: I think radio is in real threat of eating itself. 223 00:10:00,885 --> 00:10:03,285 Speaker 2: I don't think it's getting better. The standard of shows, 224 00:10:03,645 --> 00:10:05,885 Speaker 2: I think is getting worse. I think it's lost a 225 00:10:05,885 --> 00:10:08,965 Speaker 2: lot of people from radio, breakfast radio especially, and so 226 00:10:09,444 --> 00:10:12,564 Speaker 2: I think that try playing the noisy game of stunts, 227 00:10:13,165 --> 00:10:17,084 Speaker 2: buying listeners with noisy cash giveaways isn't about human connection, 228 00:10:17,645 --> 00:10:20,085 Speaker 2: and so I think there's something I think. I feel 229 00:10:20,084 --> 00:10:23,324 Speaker 2: there's something quite old fashioned about what I offer, which 230 00:10:23,365 --> 00:10:27,245 Speaker 2: is genuinely built around community and connection. And when I 231 00:10:27,285 --> 00:10:31,045 Speaker 2: came here that suddenly became more important to me than 232 00:10:31,084 --> 00:10:34,125 Speaker 2: any time in my twenty years in UK radio because 233 00:10:34,165 --> 00:10:37,125 Speaker 2: actually I actually needed it. Only hit me the other 234 00:10:37,165 --> 00:10:38,725 Speaker 2: day over the weekend when I was thinking about this 235 00:10:38,765 --> 00:10:41,085 Speaker 2: ahead of announcing it. Why it was such a big 236 00:10:41,125 --> 00:10:43,685 Speaker 2: emotional thing for me. It was because actually, when I 237 00:10:43,765 --> 00:10:46,125 Speaker 2: moved here, I actually had to build a community. I 238 00:10:46,165 --> 00:10:49,245 Speaker 2: didn't have one. You know, It's just me, my daughters 239 00:10:49,285 --> 00:10:51,765 Speaker 2: and my wife. We didn't know anyone here, and so 240 00:10:52,005 --> 00:10:54,365 Speaker 2: for me, the radio show has been a second family. 241 00:10:54,684 --> 00:10:56,285 Speaker 2: And I don't mean that in a cheesy way. I 242 00:10:56,365 --> 00:10:59,444 Speaker 2: genuinely mean that. And I think if you ask anyone 243 00:10:59,444 --> 00:11:02,684 Speaker 2: who listens to my show, they would say that, well, 244 00:11:03,005 --> 00:11:05,205 Speaker 2: we do feel like we know him and I know 245 00:11:05,324 --> 00:11:08,045 Speaker 2: them as well, and so I really like radio. How 246 00:11:08,084 --> 00:11:10,125 Speaker 2: it's still a magical medium to me is that it's 247 00:11:10,125 --> 00:11:13,005 Speaker 2: got this opportunity to bring people together. The power of 248 00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:16,685 Speaker 2: our shared human voices has still got this, he's still 249 00:11:16,725 --> 00:11:17,605 Speaker 2: got this magic to me. 250 00:11:17,765 --> 00:11:18,885 Speaker 4: Let's talk about your show. 251 00:11:18,965 --> 00:11:21,084 Speaker 3: There will be some people listening to this right now 252 00:11:21,125 --> 00:11:23,525 Speaker 3: who haven't heard much of it from around the country. 253 00:11:24,125 --> 00:11:26,285 Speaker 4: Just introduce your team members for us. 254 00:11:27,005 --> 00:11:30,165 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, first of all, there's the powerhouse that is Pat's. 255 00:11:30,444 --> 00:11:34,925 Speaker 2: Pats does the news on the show. Pats is I've 256 00:11:34,925 --> 00:11:37,005 Speaker 2: got to be honest, every time Pats speaks on the show, 257 00:11:37,045 --> 00:11:42,365 Speaker 2: I'm slightly terrified is she because she's she's wild, and 258 00:11:42,405 --> 00:11:47,245 Speaker 2: she's unpredictable, and she's a very unique female voice in broadcasting. 259 00:11:47,684 --> 00:11:51,525 Speaker 2: Most women, sadly on radio shows here, are put into very, 260 00:11:51,804 --> 00:11:55,245 Speaker 2: very very narrow roles. They're not allowed to free range 261 00:11:55,804 --> 00:11:59,245 Speaker 2: rome that men have. And when I first met Patsy, 262 00:11:59,645 --> 00:12:02,005 Speaker 2: she had these big glasses and I was like, Hey, 263 00:12:02,084 --> 00:12:04,725 Speaker 2: I really want you to say whatever you want. Don't 264 00:12:04,804 --> 00:12:07,084 Speaker 2: laugh anything I say just because you think that's your job, 265 00:12:07,165 --> 00:12:08,564 Speaker 2: not in and tell me what you really think. I 266 00:12:08,605 --> 00:12:10,645 Speaker 2: think I'm more interested than that. And I said, I 267 00:12:10,645 --> 00:12:12,525 Speaker 2: already want to build you on the show. I think 268 00:12:12,525 --> 00:12:14,405 Speaker 2: you've been under used, and she was like this, looking 269 00:12:14,405 --> 00:12:15,965 Speaker 2: at me, like, yeah, you've got the eighth guy who's 270 00:12:16,005 --> 00:12:18,685 Speaker 2: come in here and said all of this, but bit 271 00:12:18,725 --> 00:12:21,365 Speaker 2: by bit she's just opened up and opened up. She's 272 00:12:21,405 --> 00:12:24,484 Speaker 2: an inspiration. She's an inspiration to so many women. She's 273 00:12:24,525 --> 00:12:28,165 Speaker 2: now doing this podcast, Rage Against the Menopause, which have 274 00:12:28,285 --> 00:12:30,525 Speaker 2: been encouraging her to do for years, and it's brilliant. 275 00:12:30,605 --> 00:12:33,765 Speaker 2: So pats is a powerhouse on the show. I love Patsy. 276 00:12:33,925 --> 00:12:37,045 Speaker 2: She's great and Australia are really going to take Patsy. 277 00:12:37,564 --> 00:12:40,165 Speaker 2: Mums will relate to Patsy on the show and even 278 00:12:40,204 --> 00:12:43,565 Speaker 2: if you're not a mum. She's country tough. You know, 279 00:12:43,645 --> 00:12:46,245 Speaker 2: there's like the city slickers around and then there's the 280 00:12:46,285 --> 00:12:49,645 Speaker 2: country tough people who are mad, actually crazy, people who 281 00:12:49,765 --> 00:12:52,684 Speaker 2: like you know, might chainsaw off a couple of fingers 282 00:12:52,765 --> 00:12:55,244 Speaker 2: and then carry on working on the farm and then 283 00:12:55,324 --> 00:12:59,324 Speaker 2: drive themselves to hospital. That's what Patsy She's has made 284 00:12:59,365 --> 00:13:01,804 Speaker 2: differently from the rest of us. We've got some Johnny 285 00:13:01,804 --> 00:13:03,685 Speaker 2: cum lately. He's been on the show for two weeks. 286 00:13:04,405 --> 00:13:07,165 Speaker 2: Alex Cullen, who obviously was on Channel nine in the 287 00:13:07,245 --> 00:13:10,725 Speaker 2: morning and you know, we know what happened there and 288 00:13:10,285 --> 00:13:12,444 Speaker 2: he's integrated seamlessly to the show. 289 00:13:12,485 --> 00:13:13,125 Speaker 1: He's brilliant. 290 00:13:13,444 --> 00:13:18,684 Speaker 2: I really wanted someone who who actually was from Sydney, 291 00:13:18,885 --> 00:13:20,885 Speaker 2: who was warm and likable, and as soon as he 292 00:13:20,925 --> 00:13:22,484 Speaker 2: got spoken to Alex, I just liked him. 293 00:13:22,485 --> 00:13:23,085 Speaker 1: We hit it off. 294 00:13:23,804 --> 00:13:28,405 Speaker 2: He's got three young kids, he's a brilliant journalist as well, 295 00:13:28,525 --> 00:13:30,725 Speaker 2: and so I always thought that the sport could be 296 00:13:30,804 --> 00:13:34,045 Speaker 2: done differently on this show, and I wanted sport with personality. 297 00:13:34,084 --> 00:13:35,245 Speaker 1: It's a sport mad country. 298 00:13:35,444 --> 00:13:38,444 Speaker 2: It's not a sports show, but sport is entertainment and storytelling, 299 00:13:38,925 --> 00:13:41,725 Speaker 2: you know, And so I thought it could be done differently, 300 00:13:41,765 --> 00:13:43,725 Speaker 2: and Alex is doing a fantastic. 301 00:13:43,204 --> 00:13:43,565 Speaker 1: Job of that. 302 00:13:43,885 --> 00:13:46,125 Speaker 2: And obviously next year we got the Matilda's back in 303 00:13:46,365 --> 00:13:49,525 Speaker 2: action at the Asia Cup and then it's the Men's 304 00:13:49,564 --> 00:13:52,165 Speaker 2: World Cup as well in American so big sporting year 305 00:13:52,165 --> 00:13:54,245 Speaker 2: for the country next year. So yeah, Alex has been 306 00:13:54,245 --> 00:13:56,845 Speaker 2: doing a great job. I mean, obviously he's done eleven 307 00:13:56,885 --> 00:14:01,285 Speaker 2: shows with us and we're now going national. He's jumped 308 00:14:01,324 --> 00:14:06,005 Speaker 2: on a very lucrative bandwagon. And then Rio, who's someone 309 00:14:06,045 --> 00:14:07,604 Speaker 2: who's been working on the show for a couple of 310 00:14:07,645 --> 00:14:10,405 Speaker 2: years as a producer, and then we're speaking more and 311 00:14:10,485 --> 00:14:15,165 Speaker 2: more on air and just being so naturally quick, very smart, 312 00:14:15,285 --> 00:14:17,965 Speaker 2: joke iq and a great storyteller has come on leaps 313 00:14:17,965 --> 00:14:21,165 Speaker 2: and bounds. And so when Jack Post, who obviously does 314 00:14:21,165 --> 00:14:23,685 Speaker 2: a podcast with Amage Nandy and was on their show 315 00:14:23,725 --> 00:14:28,365 Speaker 2: for ten years, just quit two months ago, I didn't 316 00:14:28,365 --> 00:14:31,005 Speaker 2: want to knee jerk into finding another comedian or a 317 00:14:31,005 --> 00:14:34,005 Speaker 2: funny person. Rio stepped into the fold and has done 318 00:14:34,005 --> 00:14:36,725 Speaker 2: a fantastic job. So the liner will be me, Rio, 319 00:14:36,925 --> 00:14:39,365 Speaker 2: Pats and Alex. And then the other part of that 320 00:14:39,525 --> 00:14:41,965 Speaker 2: is it's the people that listen to the show. You 321 00:14:41,965 --> 00:14:45,285 Speaker 2: don't just listen to my show. It's a conversation, right, 322 00:14:45,325 --> 00:14:47,725 Speaker 2: That's what I'm obsessed with in life is conversations. And 323 00:14:47,765 --> 00:14:50,645 Speaker 2: so whether that's a silent conversation like in your car 324 00:14:50,965 --> 00:14:53,645 Speaker 2: you're going, oh my god, I've got a teenage daughter, 325 00:14:53,725 --> 00:14:55,965 Speaker 2: like that Christian who thinks seven am is the middle 326 00:14:56,005 --> 00:14:58,325 Speaker 2: of the night, and you're kind of nodding your head, 327 00:14:58,445 --> 00:15:00,925 Speaker 2: or you're going no, there's no way that this is 328 00:15:01,005 --> 00:15:03,445 Speaker 2: not true, and you want to call in or share 329 00:15:03,485 --> 00:15:07,085 Speaker 2: your story. It's a conversation. So we make the show 330 00:15:07,125 --> 00:15:08,645 Speaker 2: with their audience. And if you've heard in him my 331 00:15:08,645 --> 00:15:10,765 Speaker 2: show's Bucky, you know that that is every single day. 332 00:15:10,765 --> 00:15:13,045 Speaker 1: It's genuine. It's the calls the stories. 333 00:15:13,125 --> 00:15:16,045 Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with storytelling, but as part of that, it's 334 00:15:16,045 --> 00:15:19,045 Speaker 2: the story receiving as well. I love sharing my stories 335 00:15:19,165 --> 00:15:22,325 Speaker 2: to then get stories from people who are listening to 336 00:15:22,405 --> 00:15:24,645 Speaker 2: the show. The best bits of the show are the 337 00:15:24,725 --> 00:15:27,205 Speaker 2: stories ours and the people that listen as well, and 338 00:15:27,245 --> 00:15:30,685 Speaker 2: so getting what excites me about National Radio.

This woman goes she actually takes it. 356 00:16:15,365 --> 00:16:17,005 Speaker 2: I wish I was filming it. It would have made 357 00:16:17,005 --> 00:16:19,965 Speaker 2: a great TV advert for next year. She takes the 358 00:16:20,045 --> 00:16:22,725 Speaker 2: glasses or she goes, oh my god, I recognize that voice. 359 00:16:22,885 --> 00:16:25,565 Speaker 2: I listen to you every morning and I'm like, well listen, 360 00:16:25,605 --> 00:16:27,205 Speaker 2: what's your name?

Anything can happen. That's what 377 00:17:11,925 --> 00:17:13,965 Speaker 3: we all love about it. What is the most bizarre 378 00:17:14,005 --> 00:17:16,725 Speaker 3: thing in your mind that's ever happened to you while 379 00:17:16,725 --> 00:17:17,725 Speaker 3: you were live on air. 380 00:17:17,805 --> 00:17:20,605 Speaker 2: I'm sure there's hapes to choose from here. Uh no, 381 00:17:20,765 --> 00:17:23,965 Speaker 2: one always comes to mind. So I've done this competition. 382 00:17:24,045 --> 00:17:25,765 Speaker 2: I think I did it twice here and I will 383 00:17:25,805 --> 00:17:28,365 Speaker 2: be bringing it back. It's called Who's Calling Christian And 384 00:17:28,405 --> 00:17:31,845 Speaker 2: the idea is is that we say to listeners, contact 385 00:17:31,845 --> 00:17:34,205 Speaker 2: to celebrity, you know, whether you do that on social media, 386 00:17:34,925 --> 00:17:37,965 Speaker 2: and get them to call the show and they could 387 00:17:38,005 --> 00:17:40,805 Speaker 2: win thousands of dollars for the charity of their choice. 388 00:17:40,845 --> 00:17:42,965 Speaker 2: And all celebrities do work for charities. 389 00:17:42,765 --> 00:17:43,365 Speaker 1: And you win. 390 00:17:43,925 --> 00:17:46,605 Speaker 2: If your celebrity wins the vote at the end of 391 00:17:46,605 --> 00:17:49,365 Speaker 2: the two or three weeks, you win thousands as well. 392 00:17:49,925 --> 00:17:52,765 Speaker 1: And so did it in the UK. And I remember 393 00:17:53,125 --> 00:17:53,885 Speaker 1: one moment. 394 00:17:53,925 --> 00:17:55,485 Speaker 2: It was like the last half an hour the show 395 00:17:55,485 --> 00:17:57,925 Speaker 2: on a Friday, and it's all about to end. Liam 396 00:17:58,005 --> 00:18:00,645 Speaker 2: Gallagher had just called in. Rod Stewart had just called in. 397 00:18:00,925 --> 00:18:05,525 Speaker 2: Liam Gallagher said their word thirteen times right and in 398 00:18:05,565 --> 00:18:08,485 Speaker 2: the in a radio in the UK that is not cool. 399 00:18:08,845 --> 00:18:11,965 Speaker 2: But he offered to pay any fines and he'd been 400 00:18:12,005 --> 00:18:15,645 Speaker 2: on a three day drink bender. He told us as well, 401 00:18:15,885 --> 00:18:17,685 Speaker 2: and I remember saying to him, this is all live radio. 402 00:18:17,725 --> 00:18:19,965 Speaker 2: There's no preparation, right, I'm just saying to him because 403 00:18:19,965 --> 00:18:22,565 Speaker 2: there's like Friday light, that what does he do today? 404 00:18:23,085 --> 00:18:24,525 Speaker 1: You know?
