Favourite Journos

[The Underdog]

Re: Favourite Journos

I'm also a big fan of the mongel punter. After the Sam Newman and Caro Wilson fiasco, he wrote the best piece of journalism, piss-taking TFS to within an inch of its life. Every comment was bang on the money.

Leaping Larry has been a long-time favourite of mine as well - also loved his work in Danger Lowbrow alongside Brett Duck, the Audio Asassain and Dennis Twilight on RRR many years ago (showing my age).

I'm a huge LLL fan too. Hope everyone's aware he's got a Thursday afternoon show on RRR at 2pm. Well worth a listen. Alweays look forward to the letters in the Age on Saturday's.

Re: Favourite Journos

LL is a legend. Still cant stop laughing whenever I see Brett Duck reading the weekend newsbreaks on TV. Geez RRR had an awesome saturday lineup in the '80s. Couldabeens, Punter to Punter, Danger Lowbrow and then Film Buffs Forecast.

And the Breakfasters with Chris Hatsis and co. Essential morning listening. They used to have an old work colleague of mine, Ian 'Wildcat' Bennett, who did a football segment on Friday mornings. He was brilliant - when Jade Rawlings debuted for Hawthorn, he banged on abot Hawthorn being on the road to ruin because they drafted players named Jade

Brett McLeod certainly did his best work 15 years ago uder his DL alias. Tell me, does the Audio Assassin moonlight as 3AW's main hourly newsreader, David Armstrong? I'd swear those dulcet tones are exactly the same set of pipes that were owned by the Audio Assassin.
