Its not very often I criticise the things I hear on the radio, - TopicsExpress



          

Its not very often I criticise the things I hear on the radio, however this time I will make an exception. At 11.40 this morning I was in my car, had 6PR on and heard Gary Adshead talking about the Russian-Ukraine crisis, and how serious a situation it is, and even how some people here in Perth were very concerned about relatives who live in these areas. After saying all this, he launched into possibly the worst, piece of radio I have ever head. It was a mock interview. One was suppose to be Russian President Vladimir Putin, the other was someone with no talent at all, pretending to interview the Russian President. They both spoke in their Aussie voices, obviously no one could do the accents, and the content of the skit was nothing short of atrocious. I think I know the people who wrote and recorded this piece of crap, so just a word of advice, if there is just one thing I have learnt after 38 years in radio, if youre not funny, dont pretend to be, youll get caught out every time, and that thing this morning was anything but funny, it was seriously bad. If Adshead thinks this is the way to entertain a radio audience, well quite frankly he should head on back to writing for tabloids. I truly thought 6PRs ratings had fallen about as far as they possibly could, I stand corrected, I feel they have a way to go yet. After making Perth Radio my life long career, quite seriously, it makes me sad to listen these days, so I very seldom do. What was once great, is now floundering.
