This week, we go back to where the Adelaide Show really began, with Steve's introduction to radio in Murray Bridge in the 1980s; a story we'll call Radio 5MU Style. 

It was a fateful Sunday morning in 1985 when I headed off to Murray Bridge for a 10am job interview with David Bean and Phil McEvoy. Little did I know I would be on air that afternoon for a trial and then back the following Saturday with my first radio job. During the next seven and a half years, I got to meet some talented, hard-working people and some larrikins as well, and about a dozen of them have gathered tonight in North Adelaide to reunite with old colleagues and share war stories of the great mistress, radio. 

We discuss 

selling ads 
radio mishaps 
water skiing 
outside broadcasts 
very strange job interviews 

Also appearing in the Radio 5MU Style episode 

In the musical pilgrimage, we'll hear Made Of Stars because tonight's cast IS made of stars 

The SA Drink Of The Week is ... Shiraz from Willow Point Wines at White Sands near Murray Bridge 

In IS IT NEWS, Nigel tests us on Murray Bridge.
