The Nation promo – Mick’s new show [tube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJWoQHcyCC4[/tube] Thanks to 13schoolyards who has the scoop from the man himself – it sounds great. *The Nation isn’t a panel chat show – rather, it’s a fake news program, with skits, sketches, fake news, comments, etc. Supposedly the idea is to keep the format loose enough so …

We hope that the irreverent banter on Tony Martin’s Triple M Get This radio slot is here to stay, but the crap music threatens to take over the 2 hour slot! If you listen to the ‘new’ Get This on TripleM, are less than pleased and would prefer the talk to stay and the crap …
