G’DAY WORLD 189 - On Media Reform, Highs and Lows, and Joseph Campbell
On the show tonight….
The word of the day is “Ringtonitis”: When that personalized ringtone you added to your mobile phone just doesn’t seem funny or clever anymore and you are completely sick of it. eg “Making the Galaga theme my ringtone was funny for about a week but now it’s giving me ringtonitis.”
I talk a little bit about this highs and lows of my day - being in the Green Guide, losing a host, and getting unceremoniously thrown out of someone’s office - and then move onto The National Conference for Media Reform and play a clip from Bill Moyers opening speech.
Then I talk about Joseph Campbell, one of the 20th centuries greatest Mythology experts and Reginald Finely’s new site Freethinker Finder - a dating site for rational, logical people.

Damn, you tricked me Cam, here I was thinking ahhhh back to the days where Cam Reilly interviewed interesting people and asked some pretty interesting questions then POW your back into the same ole stuff about what you think are the absurdities of religion.
From that moment cam, Im afraid I was like the far side dog
‘blah blah blah ….GOD…. blah blah blah … dellusional…blah blah…. RATIONAL…… blah blah …. Richard Dorkins…. blah blah blah blah blah………..
Im looking forward to some interviews again
Cheers
