Ding, ding. In the red corner, he’s the Nova flop with a mouth that can’t stop flapping - Wade Kingsley. And in the blue corner, the King of all radio who never pulls his punches - Kyle Sandilands. In this episode we step back in to the ring and discuss Wade’s accidental appearance on the Kyle and Jackie O show, plus we talk about the value of listener research - whether you like your feedback to be thick and chewy or thin and crispy, there’s plenty of reasons why those free pizza sessions with listeners are worthwhile. And our guest this week is Todd Campbell who fought many a radio battle in Melbourne when he was content director of Nova100 in the early 2000’s. Todd is now programming the legendary Radio Hauraki in New Zealand.
