While watching late night sport on TV last night I saw the EnZed hoses and fittings ad, and thought where have I heard that before? Compare the music in the Sarah Wilson section (around the 5 minute mark) with …

This is my first episode of the Mumbo report, I think I’ll make it part of my rotation from now on. The ABC is fantastic, best show is either mediawatch or gardening australia.

Mark Scott says newsrooms hadn’t been geared for 24 hour news. What have his radio newsrooms been doing for decades then?

Mark Scott talks about the ABC partnering with the best talent in the country. But he fails to talk about (of instance) the talented post-production people he has on staff that are continually told they are not allowed to work on co-productions. What sort of message are you sending to your staff, and is that the official ABC policy? If that is indeed the case be honest with your staff and make it clear that careers at the ABC are restrained to what they, the ABC will allow you to work on.
