What a woeful podcast.

Full of inaccuracies and political jibes.

Ahh bonuses.

I’ve heard of them but haven’t seen any yet in the wild (or in the pay envelope).

Maybe one day?

By talent, you were only focused on the handful of shows in metro? Radio talent from Broome to Bundaberg not important? Future pod suggestion. Who earns more, those in retail or radio?
