G’day Fearmongers —

Over summer on A Rational Fear, we’re going to be mixing up the format and bringing you A Rational Conversation. A chat with someone we find funny, and interesting, and sometimes like this week, someone who is funny and interesting.

Wendy Harmer is a bit of a hero.

She an Australian comedy icon.

She's done everything.

And now she can add Australia's most awarded comedy podcast to her list.

We discuss the evolution of comedy and radio, the impact of commercial radio, memorable interactions with radio management, and unconventional radio stunts. Wendy shares stories from her time on The Morning Crew and reflects on the cultural significance of the show.

We also discuss the changing media landscape and the success of radio hosts like Kyle and Jackie O. Overall, the conversation highlights the unique and influential role of radio in the comedy industry.

We had great fun chatting, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the chat too.

Also our 1,000,000th download show is on sale now. It’s at Melbourne’s Malthouse Theatre and the line up is stacked with ARF favourites including Charlie Pickering, Kirsty Webeck, Sami Shah, Dj Andrew McClelland and the man with the most downloads in Australia Richard Fidler.

Cheers,

Dan
