Nice to hear that ABC Radio Brisbane reverted to type this morning, with programming for the 75 year-olds who just want things to be like the 1950s again. We had “call with your memories of little cartons of milk at school”. Some old dear gave a hilarious story about vomit. The reason why the station’s audience is dying is that they are literally dying. At 53, I’m too young to listen, and made to feel unwelcome. (Not so long ago they had a phone-in about how good cash is and how bad electronic payment is. A classic not so long back was “call with your memories of the 1974 floods”. At this point, I’d rather hear my favourite biscuit.)
I have the (local) choice of talk about sportsball from Triple M, awful right-wing talking points from Peter Dutton’s 4BC, or music radio. Alternatively, I have Radio National (if I can work out how to get the Queensland version on my speaker), or News Radio (but no state news there). Grr.
