Well today we did the first of what’s intended to be a regular segment on 2XX Friday’s, a 5pm chat with the marvellous Marianne Mettes about the things that have excited you all in the last week.

An mp3 of the segment is online now.

Happy to take feedback on whether you want it online each week or to just listen to it on 98.3 FM each Friday at five (or not at all, as desired).

I’ve developed a stutter since last Wednesday night 😉

damn. missed the 3-post. oh well, next time…

Yes, back in again today as part of my ever more crowded media schedule.

TRIPLE POST OF AWESOMENESS!!

Is there going to be an extension to other members?

John sounds DREAMY!!!

Good luck for tomorrow JB.

Unfortunatly I won’t be able to listen live as I will be down the pub with work mates. I’ll have a drink for you JB, and one for Marianne!

Hope you post it up once again

Enjoyed it JB. Please post each session.

2XX’s internet was down so the copy of talking points I’d brought in was the only one we had.

I apologise for a momentary lack of polish, beyond our control, from two people working together for the first time providing you with free amusement.

Anyway, of the ten minutes of the show I managed to catch (apparently my car is a target for aerial-snapping thieves, and 2XX doesn’t have any kind of signal strength through most of Tuggeranong), things seemed good…

Were the two of you working from the same page of notes, though?
At times Marianne and you seemed just a little bit chaotic.

I may have missed jb’s comments somewhere in the flamebait & flamewars.

But if you come to this site entirely fresh and then lurk for an age, some RiotACTers seem just a teeny bit strange.

LOL I had always thought that Jazz was a girl, and was Johnboy’s girlfriend at that…. I couldn’t have been more wrong!! 🙂 – a fresh perspective for Jazz to rename himself to Jazzhands.

*silent wipes off screen*

@Skidbladnir I think JB quite clearly articulates his sexual preferences in his bio (is that still hidden in the FAQ somewhere ?), but he’s reiterated it a number of times – particularly as either a church or a gay thread gets into the nitty gritty side of the RiotACT.

I’m back to thinking Jb’s somewhere on a spectrum,

… As are we all.

Should I be taking out an AVO now or is it already too late?

@Vic:
I too had assumed Jazz and Johnboy were a couple at one point.
Then later on I thought they’d broken it off and now Johnboy and Kerces were the item.
Then later still I realised Jazz & Jb were male, but couldn’t rule out any conclusions based on my earlier assumptions.

Now Jb is posting things about wanting to see riotpins used for PA’s (“Not for publication as much as for amusement”), and having checked back though Old Riotact articles, he did occasionally post some rather bizarre selfpics where he looks like a poor man’s Zed Seselja…

I’m back to thinking Jb’s somewhere on a spectrum, but I don’t really know exactly which one .

Thanks Vic, he’s not really my type

Hey yeh, nice interview, even one of my comments got mentioned – the link to the photo of the camera for the google maps car! whoohooo!

And yes, Marianne does sound alright, and around my age. You sound pretty hunky too JB, only if I swung that way! :-p

I would love to have the MP3 posted, as around 5pm on Fridays I am either:
– Already out of town
– At the pub
– Riding home on my motorbike which doesn’t have a radio!!!

You also put some visuals to the voice and see Johnboy and Jazz on this video: http://the-riotact.com/?p=8329

Nice radio interview too JB, once you’d settled in it all went well.

Most enjoyable piece and JB didn’t sound one bit like a rat bag. And it really brings home to roost the growing role of “alternative media”.

Good to put a voice to the name Johnboy and what a sexy voice it is!!!!
Enjoyed listening to it, good to hear your thoughts on the animals and landlords post, I agree, I know I couldn’t live without my four legged friends:)

No I’m not.

You have good ears…

She sounds cute 🙂

pretty gay really …

very nice JB. Looking forward to listening to the next one.

You’re a natural born radio person JB – Golden Tonsils MkII. Marianne was a bit irritating at times with her “Gosh oh really” exclamations, she reads the site so none of what you said would have been new to her despite her mock surprise, maybe she was playing to the non Riotact audience but other than that a great little segment.

err – realised the erroneous reference.

The full album is entitled ‘a cabinet of human oddities’, and its on the pirate bay for those who know what bittorrent is about.

Mælinar - *spoiler alert* I've seen S04E137:42 am 09 Aug 08

BTW – as Thumper mentioned you should listen to his real stuff.

I don’t have it on all the time, but I’m serving the Feldons latest CD via bittorrent if anybody wants to leech it.

Good stuff, JB. Downloaded, listened, two thumbs up and an elephant stamp. Keep ’em coming.

2. You mentioned primary voting for the greens at least twice (not implying anything – merely pointing out product placement)

Gotta speak to your audience.

60%….. 61%…….

Well let me know after it’s been inflicted on you!

To be honest I was a little slow at first, didn’t realise how bouncy Marianne was and that I could stretch out without running ahead.

Just downloading it now; my system’s running at the speed of a thousand gazelles on mogadon (sp?) Would be in favour of the mp3 format made available, JB. Not always in a position to listen live on Fridays.

Thumper do you have a celebrity s*x tape?

Joe Canberran10:31 pm 08 Aug 08

Well you did get a reference Thumper 😉

Quintessence10:27 pm 08 Aug 08

Well done, pleasure to listen to.

ooh you are dead famous nowadays Johnboy. Before you know it you’ll have a “celebrity s*x tape” circulating on the internet!!!

Joe Canberran10:22 pm 08 Aug 08

That was awesome!!

I wish i sounded that good on radio/recorded.

Yay! That was a lot of fun John! Look forward to developing it more and more with you each week. 🙂

1. You forgot to mention camels.
2. You mentioned primary voting for the greens at least twice (not implying anything – merely pointing out product placement)

Good take though…
