Robert was a significant figure in public transport advocacy, and always made himself available for radio interviews. Media loved him. Politicians couldn’t afford to ignore him. He will be missed. x.com/railmaps/sta...

Big loss for SBS. I spent time with David earlier this year judging the Australian Audio Awards. He was the most thoughtful and thorough juror possible. So much so that I dubbed him the foreman. Go well, David. All the best with whatever comes next. radioinfo.com.au/news/david-h...

Something that I’ve been told as part of my PhD research - I’m interviewing listeners and non-listeners - is that radio has lost its immediacy. With that in mind, it’s good to see Radio Today critically reviewing radio’s coverage of the Korumburra earthquake: radiotoday.com.au/the-too-late...

The too-late news

News can be an inconsiderate beast. Big stories have a habit of breaking at the most inconvenient times. Radio is paying a price for transitioning away

Interviewing comedians can be hard. So when Jimmy Poulos and Andrew Nason came in, I just filled the studio with ABC staff “who don’t get out much”. RIP Nas. I still can’t believe it’s true.

Now that podcasts can be video, we apparently need a new word for the audio-only version. I wonder whether Audio Cast will catch on.
