This week on Boxcutters we’ve got a world of excitement all packed into one neat little package.

James Talia, Channel 9 news reporter and all-round-nice-guy joins us for a chat. And are you sick of us talking about the Workchoice ads in I Don’t Buy It? We thought so. Out of the three ads we discuss only one is about IR Reform.

We’ve got some Crap TV regarding Ten’s treatment of the Shield, a new segment called Quotes and Ross tries to rename the show Channel Seven Sucks.
