Richard Cuff / Allentown, PA ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Fred Waterer <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 2:38 PM Subject: [ODXA] Matinee Idle To: [email protected], [email protected] It's summer in the Southern Hemisphere, ABC in Australia and Radio New Zealand National have many summer shows running. Perhaps my favourite of these is Matinee Idle. It appeals to my twisted sense of humour. "Phil O'Brien and Simon Morris present an afternoon of music and entertainment, including a Classic Concert. "'Matinee Idle is Radio New Zealand's Mufti Day. They let me and Simon "loose in the asylum". We get to be the guys testing the outer limits of listener patience and we benignly abuse this privilege.' says O'Brien. 'They let us play whatever we want! It's every radio presenter's dream.'" http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/matineeidle Here in North America the program, because of the time difference can be heard at 6:35 pm EST or 2335 UTC, the day before, since NZ is 18 hrs ahead of us. Sunday to Thursday nights here in North America. Where else can you hear Hooked on Yodelling and Harlem Shuffle in the same program? Also note that Matinee Idle is followed by a "Classic Concert" at 10pm EST, 0300 UTC. These are top notch productions. I stumbled onto Matinee Idle a couple years ago while anticipating a particularly amazing Louis Armstrong concert.
