The reviews are in on Lu & Jarch’s new afternoon show on Triple M and it’s fair to say, we are all massive fans of this show.  We have some thoughts on how good they are, and how good they might become. Also on this week’s episode, we discuss the backlash to Jase & Lauren’s Hide and Seek contest, were the clues too hard?, was the contest too difficult to play? We’ll dissect the contest and discuss ways to make it more inclusive when they bring it back to Nova.

The 2025 Infinite Dial report on Australian audio consumption was released this week and our guest is the head of Edison Research, Larry Rosin who will help explain the data.  Larry has been a fan and friend of Australian radio for many years and his thoughts on the success of radio and podcasting in Australia are well worth checking out. Also this week we respond to one of the most proactive listener letters we’ve received in the last 12 months - the premise of the letter - The Fox Underdogs is a turn off moment, not a tune-in talking point.  We have a lot to say about this letter.
