Was there a better broadcaster than James Valentine? What warmth, what joy, what creativity! What a privilege to know him. I love you, James. Love to Joanne, Ruby and Roy. What a legacy.

Tall and blonde. Good teeth. Will fetch a fine price at market.
Enormously proud that SKASE: FALL OF A TYCOON has been nominated for Best Audio Documentary at the AIDC Awards. The ABC Rewind team really did a fantastic job on this series and I’m so chuffed to have been part of it. All 5 episodes are on @abclisten and podcast apps. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Offalseed’s finest - Barabbas Loins. Drawn sometime in early 2020; reposted today apropos of absolutely nothing. No, I still don’t know why I gave him fancy cowboy boots. (with apologies to @markhumphries.bsky.social, as always.)
Barabbas to the Future… Did Barabbas Loins predict the future of Barnaby Joyce?

Highly recommend. Though he’s skipped the bit about the time Skase tried to steal Bargearse’s capricciosa - we don’t like to talk about that time in life.

Thoroughly enjoying @markhumphries.bsky.social ABC’s Skase podcast. Especially Warwick Capper literally reminiscing about the 80s.

We we're long overdue for a Skase overview. Any chance for an Alan Bond and a John Friedrich overview to complete the trifecta of Australian conmen @markhumphries.bsky.social? https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/abc-rewind/abc-rewind-skase-fall-tycoon/105744504
01 | The Confidence Man - ABC listen
Christopher Skase wants to be a corporate cowboy. He’s handsome and elegant, with Hermes ties and flowing locks. His wife Pixie is beautiful, in a 1980s kind of way, with bouffant blonde hair and more diamonds than a high street jeweller. Together they take on the Melbourne business establishment and start building the Qintex empire.

Aaaaaand it’s here! Ep 1 of the series our team’s been working on for months - Skase: Fall of a tycoon. You’d’ve been living under a rock if you didn’t know who Pixie and Christopher were in the 1980s. They had it all - fame, money, glitz. Until they didn’t. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

I have to give Binge credit for the great @mitchmctaggart.bsky.social and @markhumphries.bsky.social shows, but they appear to be making up for the loss of the HBO content with a record number of Hitler, Mussolini and shark docos.
The #SIZZLETOWN mug, as seen in @markhumphries.bsky.social excellent 'SOLD!' doco (on Binge and Foxtel), is back in stock, at sizzletownpodcast.bigcartel.com/product/new-...
I’m hosting Talking Pictures on tomorrow’s Insiders and my guest is journalist and Fourth Estate host Tina Quinn.
Thank you to everyone who’s watched SOLD! And big thanks to everyone who’s contacted me about it; it’s been lovely to read your messages. Now streaming on Binge and Foxtel
"When did the Australian dream go from owning your own home to owning somebody else’s?" The question speaks volumes, not least of the moral corruption of our politicians, with many of them given over so deeply to this notion of prosperity, when the price is insecurity for others.
