Boxcutters Episode 22

We plan to tell you what to do with a drunken sailor earlie in the morning but first, here’s some stuff about TV.

This week on Boxcutters you can hear:

  • Some quality news (both kinds, good and bad);
  • An interview with recent Late Show with David Letterman intern Daniel Burt;
  • Crap TV sees Ross take on the cricket coverage;
  • There are some quotes from Australia’s Brainiest TV Star (or whatever it was called);
  • Brett takes on the new season of Media Watch;
  • and Josh discovers what he once lost about Lost.

How much more could we fit in 70 minutes of TV discussion? Well, there are bits and pieces but you have to find them for yourself.

Spammers ruin it for us all

Unfortunately, dear participants, the Boxcutters site has been hit with a lot of spam over the last few weeks. I’m sick of it and now we all have to login before leaving comments. It’s a simple and painless process that should take you all of 60 seconds.

See the link over on the left.

If you have an problems then email us.

I’ve just been interviewed for Hack about downloading television shows and why its good or bad. As we know, it’s a topic very close to my heart (read: I love downloading TV). Listen to Hack at 5:30 today or check out the website over here.

Boxcutters Episode 21

Twenty-one today, twenty-one today… That’s right, it’s our 21st episode this week so watch us go as we step into podcast adulthood.

Apart from the regular stack of TV news, we also take a look at the impending appointment of Eddie McGuire to head job at channel nine, even as they run around the office in a blind panic about what’s going on with their ratings. We also focus on the network’s scheduling pecularities.

In the countdown to the end of the summer broadcasting season, Crap TV can be found almost anywhere you go across the networks.

And our regular segments, I Don’t Buy It, Letters to Boxcutters and Quotes all get a run on this week’s brilliant episode.

Boxcutters Episode 20

Like a group hug from a bunch of strangers, Boxcutters is simultaneously comforting and disturbing. Not sure what we mean by that? Then have a listen to this episode and hear:

  • All the news about television from the week;
  • A big discussion about the new 9 logo and the watermark;
  • Those morning news shows and whatever their point is;
  • Raywatch is back;
  • There is no buying the latest Channel 9 News ad;
  • and just so 9 has some company in being bashed, Ross has some words about the Green Guide.

It sounds harsh but it really is a lot of fun.
