Ruck 'n Roll

What do you get when World of Sport meets Countdown. You get Ruck 'n Roll.  You get longtime radio DJ Kevin Hillier, sports nut and broadcaster Mark Fine, music nut and broadcaster Ken Francis plus lawyer and raconteur Stephen J Peak and you have an unusual mix. But the four of them have many things in common - their love of sport, their love of music and their love of chatting about that and more. Put them in a studio together and the mix is electric.

Where the Wild Roses Don't Grow

It's the three Fs everyone is talking about - Football, Farnham and Fashion - and you won't find a better podcast to provide you with the worldly and wordy wrap up of all the F words. As you know, we know all the F words. 

Finey dials in from downtown Daylesford to give his Grand Final thoughts and predictions. SJP is filthy about the behaviour of footy crowds and wants them severely punished by the league and the law.  

Ken saw the Farnham tribute show and is glowing about a world class musical night and only has one sour note - no free to air. Ken also shares Kylie's little known musical connection to the Lions ahead of her Grand Final appearance. 

Heat up the party pies and sausage rolls and cool the tinnies, it's time to Ruck 'n Roll.

We're all Someone's Son.

If you thought the NFL lit up the City of Melbourne, and it did, wait 'til you hear about the other invasion of the CBD from the NFI. If you don't know what that stands for, then you are obviously a card carrying NFI member.    

The musical flood gates opened as our intrepid legal beagle braved the noctural nasties to attend a musical séance to revive the pulsating punk and rejuvinating rock of The Damned. It is a concert review like no other. And before you can say Rat Scabies three times while gargling battery acid, the show has moved from the NFI to the AFL, the NRL, the EPL and the bloody L - time to go.

It is a full plate of tasty offerings. There's Dockers, Rockers, Shockers, Knockers and Wocka Wocka Wockas. 

Ruck On!

The Sun that makes the Day. 

Standby for shocks and surprises as the faint waft of warmer weather dents the bozone layer and a sliver of 2026 shines on proceedings, delivering a rare foray into music made since the turn of the century. 

Ken reviews Hot Machine's latest gig and previews their debut album. But wait, there's more: Finey has discovered a English pop star Sienna Spiro, who is younger than most of Stephen J Peak's socks.   

Pass the smelling salts because that's not all.

Spoiler alert: Clarkson gets boned, tennis fans get stoned, the Crows get no love and where is that missing glove?
