I’ve just been interviewed for Hack about downloading television shows and why its good or bad. As we know, it’s a topic very close to my heart (read: I love downloading TV). Listen to Hack at 5:30 today or check out the website over here.

Boxcutters Episode 21

Twenty-one today, twenty-one today… That’s right, it’s our 21st episode this week so watch us go as we step into podcast adulthood.

Apart from the regular stack of TV news, we also take a look at the impending appointment of Eddie McGuire to head job at channel nine, even as they run around the office in a blind panic about what’s going on with their ratings. We also focus on the network’s scheduling pecularities.

In the countdown to the end of the summer broadcasting season, Crap TV can be found almost anywhere you go across the networks.

And our regular segments, I Don’t Buy It, Letters to Boxcutters and Quotes all get a run on this week’s brilliant episode.

Boxcutters Episode 20

Like a group hug from a bunch of strangers, Boxcutters is simultaneously comforting and disturbing. Not sure what we mean by that? Then have a listen to this episode and hear:

  • All the news about television from the week;
  • A big discussion about the new 9 logo and the watermark;
  • Those morning news shows and whatever their point is;
  • Raywatch is back;
  • There is no buying the latest Channel 9 News ad;
  • and just so 9 has some company in being bashed, Ross has some words about the Green Guide.

It sounds harsh but it really is a lot of fun.
