  • Worst audio producer ever

    Impressively bad audio production, just here for Phil’s show, temporarily, thankfully. Compression not used right or at all. Lows are un-hearable, the highs blow your ears off. Constantly fluctuating audio in general, and the de-Esser not used at all. The sam Purcell segment was so hissy on the s and the t’s. It’s a bold business move to let this chucklehead continue producing. Seen better tafe students do basic audio.

    Used to be a good show but now has minimal current affairs- where is Terry Barnes? Get Steve Price in as a regular contributor

  • Boring drive show

    It would be nice if the drive segment would concentrate on car reviews & the latest releases other than almost an entire show taken up with trivial pothole and road issues. I wasted an hour of my life last night listening to dribble.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tech Guide with Stephen Fenech - 13 July 2026
Q: How much are these glasses worth, and is there a risk they're just a gimmick?
The guest notes a price point around modest levels for early models and emphasizes the importance of the accompanying app and software ecosystem to unlock real value through translations, live captions, and third-party apps.
Tech Guide with Stephen Fenech - 13 July 2026
Q: Is there anything that you do or review or talk about these days that hasn't got the letters AI in there?
The discussion pivots to AI everywhere, with specific focus on AI-enabled glasses, translation capabilities, and the broader impact of AI on consumer tech, including how these devices complement existing ecosystems and how software and apps expand their usefulness.
Dogs with Dementia
Q: What are the signs you look for with a dog or a cat, things that you might see that this is something a bit more than just normal aging?
Common signs include staring into space, getting stuck behind furniture, increased restlessness at night, whimpering or meowing at night, and a general decline in interaction with family, which signals cognitive decline beyond normal aging.
The World of Television with Rob McKnight – 14 July 2026
Q: What challenges do live cross-overs pose for presenters in terms of timing and composition?
Live crosses involve potential delays in earpieces and the need to stay composed while cues and replies are improvised, making the presenter's body language and hand movements crucial for delivering a credible on-screen performance.
The World of Television with Rob McKnight – 14 July 2026
Q: How does chroma key affect the way weather reports are presented on TV, and what are the practical implications for anchors?
Chroma key allows presenters to stand in front of a green or blue screen while the actual weather map and graphics are generated in-camera or via monitors off to the side, which means anchors must learn to look at a monitor rather than directly at the camera and maintain natural delivery, a skill that takes practice.
