Ross and Terri

One of my favourite radio shows, and indeed radio partnerships, was Ross Noble and Terri Psiakis on Triple J last January. The show only ran for two weeks, as Ross is a globe trotting comedian, but by the end of those two weeks I was listening religiously. I've become used to tuning into my favourite TV shows on regular occasion, but to listen to an entire two to three hours of radio from start to finish is another kettle of fish (or a kettle full of something that would normally be placed in a kettle. Like water).

I've seen Ross doing his comedy act live and he is absolutely tremendous. His style of tangential, whimsical and nonsensical comedy tales that drift into outer monologue both astounds and entertains audiences everywhere. Terri, herself an accomplished local comic, is an ideal foil as the light hearted and witty host to keep the show on track, but also supplies a long leash to Ross' brain to wander verbally. Together on radio, hilarity often ensues as they overuse the term "borange", fade out all the listeners who call them or release a floating cardboard Nanna over Flinders Street.

I haven't gone mental from nostalgia alone, they're coming back again to the J's from midday Monday for another two week stint. Even better, you can subscribe to a podcast for this year's episodes (music free) and download last year's eps as well! As my need for quality podcasts increases, these ones are going straight to the pool room...on my iRiver. Note to self: create folder named "Pool Room" reserved for favourite podcasts.
