‘Chaotic and strange’: TripleM bringing back evening show The Rubber Room after 16 years
Rubber Room host: Ugly Phil O’Neil
TripleM has announced it is relaunching controversial radio show The Triple M Rubber Room in mid-October.
The program was known for its no-holds-barred discussion of taboo topics and was hosted by the late Jon Kennedy, who would regularly push the boundaries of the Austereo network.
Stepping into the hosting role this time will be Triple M’s ‘Ugly’ Phil O’Neil – a rival of Kennedy’s, who hosted the Hot 30 with Jackie O on 2Day FM.
This could end up being a really cool podcast.
People who are now about 30 grew up with Ugly Phil on Fox FM. He’s got good brand equity.
2 nights in,loving it! Puzzled by the “male-skewed” expectation,certainly doesn’t strike me that way.It’s all about the music(some live!),artists,and of course a good dose of pith.Refreshingly free of “goss”.
