#ABCRN Mel Clarke doing a sterling job on RN this morning interviewing Tony Burke about the Israeli President visiting ASIO - Less than satisfactory fob-off reply from Burke, but it’s a start! Then Mel launches into the Israeli Ambassador, only to be served the usual propaganda…….Keep at it Mel 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Brilliant interview with Randa Abdel-Fattah this morning on #ABCRN. Very articulate.
Interviewer Jade MacMillan actually mentioned ICC warrants for Netanyahu and others and that humanitarian groups claim Israel is committing genocide.
Is the tide turning against Zionist bullies? 🤞🤞🤞🤞
So..... #SabraLane is leaving AM after many years. I wish her well.
Just found this lovely piece from the 'The Hobart Magazine'.

Really enjoying listening to today’s covers of James Reyne’s “Reckless” on Andy Ford’s Music Show on #ABCRN.
Covers is a great series. I hope it will continue.
Here is David Marr trying to find a way to excuse Israel to excuse the Australian government and to excuse the Australian media while interviewing Francesca Albanese.
I want David Marr off Late Night Live
There are better alternatives
Jonathan Green?
James Carleton?
Natasha Mitchell?

ABC RN's The Bookshelf has published the books that came in at 101-200 on their Favourite Books of the 21st Century poll. I'm not going to repeat a full-blown analysis, but few things:
* I've only read ~30 of these, compared with 57 of the top 100.
* Two more more of the books I voted for made […]
Number of books in each 5 year period. Recency bias only apparent for the last 5 years.
Average publishing year for each quintile. Newer books tend to be lower down the list except for the top 20.
My average rating by quintile. In general I rated higher books better.
I couldn't resist doing some analysis of ABC Radio National's Top 100 Books of the 21st Century.
How much more likely were people to vote for books because they had read them in recent memory (recency bias)? You would expect that good books are spread out evenly […]

I'm looking forward to the final 40 of Radio National's Top 100 Books of the 21st Century this afternoon.
I reckon these with rank highly:
Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton, and maybe also Lola In The Mirror
Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
Something by […]
Just been ranked at 57 on #RadioNationalAustralia’s #100bestbooks of the last 25 years #books #ABCRN
The first of my favourite books has made it into Radio National's Top 100 Books of the 21st Century: #68. Educated by Tara Westover.
Only expecting a couple more of mine to make it ...

Why is Matt Canavan given airtime re environment when his family is in the coal mining business? #ABCRN
And why are both main parties not asked by journalists about political donations by fossil fuel companies?
Labor continues to back the opening of coal mines and gas ventures
When a journo says - now talking to our A General , I still expect to hear Mark Dreyfus. Not that I don’t applaud women in top jobs.
But ALP treatment of Dreyfus and E Husic was - pretty shitful.
Is that the right term? #auspol #ABCRN
Let’s hope he stays in a specialty gated community for a long, long time. There’s no hope for redemption according to an AFP officer who sought to track down pedophile rings. I heard him speak to it in #abcRN
Dare I turn on #abcRN to hear it?
#abcrn is gradually letting more music play again. The world is slowly returning to its balance.
According to Dutton on an #abcRN grab, Albo has racked up $1.2 Trillion in debt!
I'm sure he was slayed by the gathered journos for this nonsense......'who do you trust' indeed...... #auspol
In the car yesterday listened to #TimWinton at #AdelaideWF #Podcast #ABCRN
If you loved #Ningaloo on TV, you should probably listen to this. He's talking about his new book #Deuce, ( I must get it), & he says a lot of very gritty but encouraging stuff. ( In his typically beautiful way with words).

Serious ABC Radio National journalist earnestly explains Trump tariffs under the Fair And Reciprocal Tariffs program even though Australia doesn’t impose tariffs on USA and
ARE YOU GOING TO USE THAT ACRONYM WITH A STRAIGHT FACE???
@wendybacon1.bsky.social genuine Qn: Is #ABCRN PM degeneration into endless litany of anecdotes from pple caught up in nat'l events b'cos 1) current courses in journalism encourage this 2) #ABCRN on-the-job training encourages this 3) ABC believes this is what listeners want? Wld like to know..tks
Is anyone else totally fed up with #RadioNational endless replays of promotional messages abt the personal growth+self- improvement you'll experience if only you download the App, switch on #ABCRN +listen attentively to its celebrity "journalists" with qualities ordinary folk can only dream about?
Switching off #RNBreakfast for the last time. Adding half an hour to a show without the capacity to fill it with original content was not a good idea.
Reckon it was a cost cutting exercise gone wrong.

Was disgusted by the ABCRN crap yesterday. Did hear a good tribute to her on #ABCRN #MusicShow this morning though - her being interviewed … BRILLIANT!
I was lucky enough to see her live in 1990s. Fuck she was impressive!
