For our international listeners who would like to follow along:

THIS is Ray Martin, hard hitting, globe trotting journalist turned Midday talk-show host turned miracle diet spruiking tabloid current affairs presenter, but always with that magnificent diastima

And THIS is the young pretender, Eddie “McEverywhere” McGuire, after a couple of beers (on the left)

The Tony that I couldn’t call to mind, who hosts Lateline, is Tony Jones and looks like this:

That’s quite distinct from Tony Eastley

and it’s most definitely not Tony Squires

On the first episode of Boxcutters we intimated that we were friends with Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht of Diggnation fame. We’re not but we’d like to be. Their show is really cool.

Alex, I’m sorry for calling you Alan on air. ( j )

Hosted by Brett Cropley, Josh Kinal and Ross McQueen, Boxcutters will take you on a tour through the world of television once a week.

While the team likes to think of it as broadcasting on the internet (because of the high ambitions of radio potential) the show will take the form more commonly known as podcasting (a.k.a. computer-magic radio).

Where can you find such a delightful chocolate-box of tasty nougat information about television, what’s on it and how it could be better? Well, we haven’t worked that one out yet.

This week we’re talking about Dancing with the Stars, The Amazing Game (The Mole), Sensible Funerals, MDA, the Green Guide (a reputable TV/media guide in Melbourne), Blue Heelers, Last Man Standing, TV advertising, Raywatch and heaps more.
