RRR FM (All Over The Shop)

"Overrated Alley" makes its long-unawaited return to the podwaves, as Stew brutally attacks Princess Mary of Denmania for no apparent reason, and Leapster dubs Coldplay "The REO Speedwagon of their generation". Leapster explains why taking Australian football to India may be the AFL's answer to new-formula Coke, and takes us through some unusual "Adventures in Retail", including the first encounter with the ee-vill genius, Professor Von Mangosteen. And Stew has the line of the show about the Seven Network which he made up all by himself. Unsophisticated ratbaggery at its finest.

NOTE TO DEAR LISTENER (if any):

The August 28th "All Over The Shop" was the RRR Radiothon edition, which means it mostly consisted of crying and begging for money, and the interminable reading out of the names of listeners who subscribed. As such it will not be posted as a plodcast as it is even more manifestly unsuited for this purpose than the usual ones are. "Normal" plodcast service will be resumed the following week.

This show could be fairly subtitled "Everything's an Argument" but in between the general crankery, Stew guides us further down the hazardous path of his new education, and, in a new breakthrough in literary research, tells us why Edgar Allan Poe's name is too long. Meanwhile, regular segment "On This Day" reveals the amazing saga of the Englishmen's yellow Ford throughout history, and the shocking truth behind creamsicles. Plus, Leapster investigates the continuing tragedy of musical entertainment at the football, and Stew spends a night at the live theatre, which turns out to be a Chris Rock show. In other words, the usual formless shambles.

In another devastating blow struck against quality in the radio medium, Stew commences his adventure with further education by scouting pubs nearby the campus and turning up to the wrong class, and Leapster investigates the concept of incomprehensible cinema advertisements on a "Guess the product" basis. Also, included, Stew's perplexing guide to fashion, the shocking final fate of Jimmy Hoffa, nothing about the Olympics, and, fighting a worldwide trend, Leapster slumbers through the Batman movie.

With all the world talking about the Batman movie, Big Stew Farrell enterprisingly decides to review it, only it turns out that he's only just seen "Batman Begins" and that's the one he's reviewing. His synopsis of this movie also has to be heard to be believed. Trust us, it's one for the ages. Also, Stew reveals details of some upcoming new education course he's taking to which Leapster has a violent allergic reaction. Then Stew finds string in his sandwich and haiku poetry on his train. Also he destroys the RRR coffee machine again; and in a culinary trip down memory lane, Leapster explores why naming an item of ice confection the "Whiz" might not have been the most brilliant idea in the history of the Australian food industry.
