Podcasts about 3xy

Finey couldn't be with us this week, so long time radio guy Ken Francis comes in off the interchange bench, while Brian joins in live from the front bar of his local watering hole. Ruck on in as we dive headlong into the 3XY Music Survey from December 6th, 1985....and boy there's some shockers in amongst it...plus the occasional gem. Meanwhile Brian's going all in for Britney, Kev's reliving a Talking Heads nightmare, and Ken has a great story about an Angels classic -- Kevin Hillier, Brian Mannix, Mark Fine Special Guest - Ken Francis Subscribe in iTunes! https://apple.co/2LUQuix Listen on Spotify https://spoti.fi/2DdgYad We're also on iHeartRadio at https://ihr.fm/35WwZgk Follow us on Facebook... https://bit.ly/2OOe7ag Music tracks used under APRA licence Find out more here - http://apraamcos.com.au/ Post-production by Steve Visscher | Southern Skies Media for Howdy Partners Media - © 2021 www.howdypartnersmedia.com.au/podcasts See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So it's December 1983 in Melbourne Australia and 3XY on the AM dial puts out the most unbelievable, hook-laden, catchy, funky, memorable 5-minute tune to ever hit my 13-year-old ears. Who was this? What was this? What had I just heard, please Mr. DJ tell me at the end of the song and please, please, please don't go to an ad! Bad luck as they immediately go to a Coco Pops jingle commercial. Eager but somewhat frightened that this propulsive and new favorite song may never be heard again, I feared these dulcet tones may be lost forever. No Shazam App, no internet to track the song down online, and no helpful DJ to ease my concerns, all seems lost. Alas, they come back from the ads and announce the song, announce the band, and through sheer weight of caller demand to the station play the song again. With Aussie pride and fervor, the DJ says folks: “this is Original Sin by the mighty INXS”! My life was complete. And so became my total emotional investment to these soon-to-be national treasures. So tonight, we examine 5 minutes and 19 seconds that changed mine and the lives of many. Every vocal, every sigh, every guitar riff, and every cry shall be broken down. Listener Warning: this shall take longer than 5 minutes and 19 seconds. Celebrate!

This week on the show we catch up with radio stalwart Kevin Hillier who's radio resume is ELITE. Kevin talks about how he started working in his Dads Service station pumping gas when he fell in love with the prospect of a man in the air conditioned caravan who was playing the hits and talking between them.Kevin has never been afraid of hard work and says it's one of the many factors that will get you moving in the right direction in this radio game.

Interview 3 - Richard Stubbs and Evan Hocking Comedy, radio and TV icon - Richard Stubbs - joins Stella and 'grass roots' comic Evan Hocking for a wild discussion covering everything from duty free to running the country. Richard, who is best known for hosting variety show Tonight Live on Channel 7, pioneering breakfast and drive time radio comedy (XY Zoo on Melbourne's 3XY and later on 3 Triple M) - has recently returned to stand-up between ongoing corporate gigs and presenting on ABC Radio Melbourne. Like many Melbourne comedians, Richard had his first shot on stage at The Last Laugh in Collingwood during the early 80's - where he (and many other aspiring comics) worked as a barman at the time. Stella, Evan and Richard compare notes on the current comedy scene: "Four minutes on stage for a try-out, and no pay", Evan reports flatly - with Richard curbing his earlier career interstate travel expectations, now being "put up overnight in the promoter's spare room"! We also hear some of Richard's family tales as brother, father and son. Like many people approaching their 6th decade, he tells the familiar challenging stories of ageing parents, new loves and flexible careers. His retirement plan will crack you up - look out for him as you come through customs at Melbourne Airport (or in federal parliament as this week's prime minister)!

On this weeks program Chris interviews Kim Nguyen, a resident in Melbourne's south-east about discovering a Noble Park velodrome with a big history.Kim talks about discovering a hidden cycling gem, the historic Maurice Kirby velodrome, earlier this year, only to find out literally by chance, that the entire area is slated for demolition by City of Greater Dandenong. This is the only velodrome remaining in the region and the council have no plans to resurface, rebuild or replace the historic venue. We talk about who was Maurice Kirby, his Nobel Park bicycle shop, Pedal Clubs of Victoria, his long career as a sports broadcaster on 3XY and Channel Nine, velodrome construction in 1954-1955 and it's gradual disappearance from local wayfinding.Kim discusses how people can get involved with his campaign to save the Maurice Kirby velodrome, including contacting him about any stories about learning to ride or using the velodrome to train and also sending questions to the Greater Dandenong Council to ask at their general meetings.For more Melbourne bicycle news and events, follow Yarra Bicycle Users Group on twitter, facebook and our public events calendar.

Greg had a desire to work in radio from a very young age however he admits that he didn’t have the ‘gift of the gab’, preferring to work behind the scenes instead of in front of a microphone. Was Greg simply in the right place at the right time or was it his interest in the research and strategic side of radio that landed him at the forefront of what would become a major game changer in the way that radio stations were run in this country. In this podcast, we talk about the challenges that radio faces today up against content on-demand platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Has Australia missed the boat when it comes to DAB+? And what should radio networks be doing with their spare digital channels? The discovery of Kyle Sandilands in Darwin, Jeff Allis and Boost Juice and the book Thick Face, Black Heart.

There is no rock and roll without the radio. As a manager of artists and bands in the 1970s, it was part of Peter Rix's job to help break his artists through to success. To break your band, you needed to get their song on the radio. For Peter, it meant visiting key radio stations such as 2SM in Sydney, 3XY in Melbourne and 4IP in Brisbane: get your songs on these stations and you're on your way to making hits. Through those radio days, one man stood in the middle of that mad world as the leader of the pack. Rod Muir was the brains behind 2SM's ascendency as Sydney's leading music radio station of the 70s (extending that ascendency to 3XY in Melbourne and 4IP in Brisbane), and then of the launch of FM in the 1980s with Triple M. In Part 1 of their conversation, Peter and Rod look back at Rod's start in radio in Tasmania, the 1970s when 2SM and AM radio was king and then the start of FM in the 1980s and a new decade of ruling the airwaves on Triple M.

Richard Stubbs started his stand-up comedy career in 1983. A year later he began his long running radio presenter career, that saw him broadcast at 3XY, TripleM, 101.1 TT FM (now KIIS FM), 774 ABC, and most recently 3AW. In between, Richard also appeared on and hosted Hey Hey It's Saturday and performed sold-out shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. And then, in 2015 he decided to take his own advice and leave radio and reignite his passion for comedy. In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast episode, I leave the confines of this studio and meet Richard in a bustling St. Kilda cafe to talk about life after radio, his hiatus from stand-up, being witness to the metaphorical birth of Australia's comedy scene, and his motto of saying 'yes' to everything.

Richard Stubbs literally changed the game for breakfast radio in the mid 80s as the first stand-up comedian to cross-over to breakfast radio. He started at 3XY on the Morning Zoo in 1985 before moving to MMM in the late 80s. In 1992 The Richard Stubbs Breakfast Show replaced the D-Generation, and went on to become one of the most successful shows of the time. Stubbsy then forged a new path for FM hosts by crossing over to the ABC in 2004. After 11 years of success in the afternoon slot, he made the decision to hang up the headphones at the end of 2015. Richard’s observational humour, natural intelligence and listening skills are some of the reasons why his career has been successful. 'Radio is hideously personal... My mantra's always been if someone's a moron, I'm going to be better. I'll be 10 per cent better to cover your moron-ness'.  Find out more about Richard here.
