@MsMountebank @LindyBurns @R_Chirgwin A conversational approach works ‘cos the questions that come up are much the same the audience has..
@MsMountebank @LindyBurns Thanks very much. I think the topic lends itself to the more relaxed pace of an evening show.

And the @774melbourne spot is done. It included tractors, and like an arsehat I forgot to start recording. Oh well.
Oh, you can listen to me on @774melbourne at abc.net.au/melbourne or on ABC apps. Or on some thing called the wireless. Kinda now.
@BernardKeane I want to go there now.
@_midofo_ I was kidnapped.
And here we are in ABC Sydney TARDIS 1, ready to go live on @774melbourne very soon. instagram.com/p/8P-6uACFt-/
