I listened to the replacement Arts program this morning. What trivia compared with the serious discussion we are used to on The Book Show and its predecessors. People who are interested in books and writing will be unhappy at this dereliction by the ABC. There is very little discussion of writing of all kinds any where in Australia. Surely the ABC should not be abandoning readers in this way.
If film still gets a program on radio and on TV – why not writing?
I hope Romola Koval’s great interviews have been archived by the ABC. They are national treasures.
I am unimpressed with the 5.30am Monday new time for Health Report, followed by THREE HOURS of Breakfast. Surely the Health Report should be broadcast in a more civil time.
The start of 6am to 9am programme has been very good.
Finance and political reporting asalways a high standard,but must watch for political bias which managed to creep in last year.
sport….As your reporter likes to put down NRL at every opportunity, I think you should remember your programme goes to N.S.W and Qld. particularly when he refers to NRL players as “MUNGO’S’ as he has in the past.
All the best for year. Ian.
Oi Tim, this is the Share a Coke (https://staging.mumbrella.com.au/share-a-coke-with%E2%80%A6-the-moronic-masses-69873) for 2012!
No, no, no!
Why does Radio National think we need yet another “drive-time” talk show? Surely the boring chit-chat of almost identical programs on the local ABC stations and the wasteland of commercial radio is enough. Surely Radio National’s raison d’être is to offer an intelligent alternative — which is has always done with such distinction.
So why this stunning failure of imagination?
Come on Radio National. Get back on track and continue to offer quality, innovative listening.
radio national seems to be morphing into a copy of JJJ… Or even worse a copy of your average (very average) FM station- yuck yuck yuck every line a pun. Terrible.
