Pop quiz.
You’re a radio presenter whose show has been on suspension after an exploitative segment went wrong.
On you’re first day back on the air, you tell a member of the public taking part in a quiz that she’s won $900. Do you a) let her keep the money or b) Tell her a few moments later that you’ve made a mistake and it’s actually $800?

It’s good to have Kyle & Jackie O back on the air, isn’t it?
