I've had a look at the above link, but it only seems to be about the dreaded Dr Who (I can't stand it) and a very few other ABC TV programs. Nothing about radio.
Do you think there would be any interest amongst the existing membership in the various radio networks of the ABC?
Could one of you who is already registered there maybe ask the question?
It's now obvious that she was considered "sound" all along. The exposure to a selection of European social democracies seems to have cured the cement. I'd have thought that red might be a colour in Emma's wardrobe. Signifying the US Republican Party naturally.I think Emma Alberici looks great in any colour... my favourite journalist. (After what's her name from Naked News) Other than that, I agree but let's give these new guys some time and see how they behave first. (Also more potential pump and dump cannon fodder )

this may be a new experience for many of you.
Listen here Rumpy, there's enough of us big mouth Libs still around to keep you lefties in line over there. At least I hope so?? You haven't completely scared 'em all off have you?? I've been missing a while did I miss something??? Dressdown's still around isn't he? She said nervously.Not necessarily. The ABC forum had its representatives from Liberal Party Central House.
They kept knocking on the door like Jehova's Witnesses, and got the same treatment

mmmmmmmm...... just digesting the comments by the site manager on the Whovians thingy. I get the distinct impression that us rough and tumble old (in wisdom) HYS's are there as long as we behave ourselves and don't increase in number e.g. "I would be happy if, over time, we only attract enough new members to replace those who will inevitably drop off." OK, what number would be optimal ?, this is getting like the population debate.
I am getting uneasy about Whovians..........
And rumps I think it was, I too dislike a repeated mission statement at the bottom of each comment. Just keep the site simple and not like Playschool.
SP.
My feelings exactly, I spend almost as much time dissecting the Libs lack of policies as I do shredding Labor dills.Rumpole : What I don't like is parrot like propaganda from Central House of either side.
I'd already had a crack about that SP, explained that the signatures were like 'ads'Superb Parrot: And rumps I think it was, I too dislike a repeated mission statement at the bottom of each comment. Just keep the site simple and not like Playschool.
Yes, isn't Slipper turning out to be the complete surprise! He is actually being pretty effective. Just loved seeing Swan in particular thrown out.BTW , Did you watch Parly today. Slipper threw out Swan and Hockey. It was great stuff.
Yes, I will. Hope it might turn out to be a reasonable site for general political and other discussion.Anyway Julia, give it a week or two and peep in again, we're still finding our feet and hopefully things will be more interesting soon.
And just to clarify things for a stockmarket parrot, I think everyone should have one for mum, one for dad and one for the country.
SP. We can only give it a try and see how it goes. The ZPG wish may only apply when the population is 500 or so. It's a free site with no advertising so I don't blame the Admin for wanting to keep it manageable. Anyway , I'll be there for a while and the more the merrier afaic.
The United States of Julia.........
Bear in mind though SP, they're are all equally the "real" Julia, we just have to keep up.
I missed the Swanny toss out, even missed it on the News last night, I'll have to pay more attention to these momentous events.
So did I, but this event is not what the ABC would gloat over.
True, because they abhor bias in news reporting.
Eeerrrrr, please define 'squiggly'.
Below is my original whine to them.Thank you for your email about our 2012 lineup
I am sorry that you don’t like the some of the new broadcast times or presenters . Radio National is making a number of changes to its programming schedule in 2012. The development of the new schedule comes from a great deal of thinking and research about what our listeners want and need from us now and into the future, and has taken into account audience feedback over many years.One of our aims this year was to reduce the number of repeats across the network.
In making changes to our programming, we have had to make some difficult scheduling changes. We regret that this decision is not to your liking. Most programs are available by podcast, or by downloading it on your computer at any time. The better digital radios also have a timer record feature, if you are in a digital reception area.
Thank you for your detailed and valuable feedback, and for your interest in Radio National
regards
Radio National Listener Enquiries
Dear ABC
First, I think the Drive program with Walid Ali and Julian Morrow is terrific - huge improvement, though I do miss PM when I turn the radio on at 6pm. Intelligent, interesting discussion over a decently wide range of topics. Thank you.
Books and Arts today: This is just so disappointing.
Michael Cathcart's presentation is quite flippant. I guess that would be OK with me if I found the content consistently interesting.
But when it's compared with the marvellous Book Show with both Ramona Koval and Anita Barrow where we received great interviews with writers and even better book reviews, it's now a program that I don't even bother to listen to. Please restore The Book Show and pay Ramona whatever it takes to persuade her to come back to the ABC.
Also really miss "In the National Interest" with Peter Mare. Also "Australia Talks" which used to be so very good. "Big Ideas" doesn't adequately replace either of these imo.
And then you have the oh so dull "Sleeve" music program in prime time in the evening while burying the replay of Life Matters at 4am!!!! Unbelievable.
Natasha Mitchell, as one would expect after listening to her for years on "All in the Mind", is a great presenter for "Life Matters". Why on earth are you not putting the replay on in decent time for those of us unable to be listening to the radio in the mornings?
I would very much appreciate your comments. I can't imagine life without the ABC, Radio National, Local Radio and Classic FM, but I'm really disappointed in some of your decisions for this year.
Yes, all of the replays seem to have been shunted into stupidly obscure time slots.
e.g. the Life Matters replay is now at 4am of all ridiculous times. It used to be mid evening so people who worked during the day could enjoy it then.
I have just happened to hear this when awake at some godawful hour like 5am, I think.
I doubt it's that. Haven't they brought back "The Religion Report" after dumping it for a couple of years. They just seem to have engaged some genius who is plonking programs anywhere without regard for the intended audience.
So irritating.
I'd welcome some discussion on ABC Radio if others are interested.
