Well it's fair to say that last week created quite a bit of controversy with how the votes fell in the Top 50. Some people happy with how things went, others not so much! That's why these countdowns are so much fun. Who will be no#1 on the list that everyone is talking about at the moment? Listen and find out!

There has been a lot of talk of late of radio dying a very slow death. Well this week on the pod cast Fyona Smith from AFTRS joins me for a chat surrounding the recent radio job losses.

Radio has changed it's face so many times over the years and this is just another one of those moments that we need to lean into and help the industry evolve.

I have had the pleasure of working with Cam twice during my radio career both times at the same station 89.9 The Light in Melbourne. It's a real family affair with that radio station as his dad Wes Jay was one of the founding members of the programming team and his brother Michael Want currently holds the position of Content Director. One listen to this weeks episode and you'll soon realise why the mission of The Light is so needed in the City of Melbourne and why Cam has never moved from his posting there.

This week on the Pod Cast it's the bloke who has potentially got the biggest radio resume known to man. Rod Maldon has made his mark both here in Australia but also abroad in the UAE and New Zealand. Rod currently holds position of Content Director for Hit and Triple M in Cairns but can often be heard between the speakers showcasing how it should be done!
