While Lefty radio station Today FM has been taken off the airwaves due to lack of support (Life’s tough without Jacinda, isn’t it, Tova?) Reality Check Radio has gone from strength to strength, gaining both new hosts and listeners and building a solid foundation. Here’s their latest newsletter. MH
Did your ears sigh with relief this morning? Ours did. We’re thrilled to welcome the rich and fruity voice of media giant Lindsay Perigo to our fledgling RCR airwaves. Lindsay’s intelligent commentary on the state of New Zealand is long overdue, and he did not disappoint – his climactic mic drop message to Chris Hipkins and Easter opera finale brought bittersweet tears to our eyes as we hollered, “Now, that’s what we’re talking about!”.If you relished hearing Lindsay’s acerbic wit and incisive analysis, you’ll be pleased to know that from now on, he’ll be joining RCR every Thursday morning. |
It’s Easter weekend, and (as much as we can’t get enough of their interviews and rants…) we’re letting (almost all?) our incredible presenters take a well-earned rest. But we’re thinking of you too, and while our gang are sleeping in and eating hot cross buns, we’ve put together a fantastic lineup of the best interviews and rants from the last three weeks to entertain you over the next four days. Tune in from 7am daily and listen live to our excellent hosts, and their fascinating (and sometimes controversial!) guests, all rolled together with soothing tunes to bring your blood pressure down again. Want to help spread the word about RCR this Easter? These three things will help enormously: 1. Share your favourite show with a friend – grab a link from the RCR website and send it to someone you think would enjoy hearing it; 2. Like our NEW Facebook page! 3. Send us an email and let us know that you’re listening, where you’re from, and your favourite show so far. We love your feedback, suggestions and support! |
STAY TUNED. STAY SHARP. |
