Mon, 15 May 2006 We know it's been a big week in news, but The Spin is worried about Shane Warne. The spinmeister can't get on front page for money or... lust. There he is, photographed in bed with two women and an inflatable middle wicket, and the most we know about it is a sharp remark from the more famous Warne... Simone. Lucky for him our listeners came up with some fresh ideas on how to get himself back where he belongs, humiliating himself and his family in the front of the news. Of course we talked about the yarn of the week, or the "story of the decade" according to ABC Melbourne Drive's presenter Lindy "two planes flew into what?" Burns. She was referring to Todd Russell and Brant Webb walking out of the goldmine alive. With their lives safe, the vaudeville began, with Seven and Nine vying for their favour, by giving the entire population of Beaconsfield cirrhosis of the liver in an attempt to get the inside story. There's gold there, but how long will the seam last? Take a dump? Tuesday's action at Beaconsfield was beautifully exploited by new Victorian Opposition Leader, Ted Baillieu, who dropped the Liberals' nonsensical half tolls policy on the same day. As for the miners taking a dump, well luckily Catters ruins everyone's lunch by... well listen to the podcast. Technical note: This week's podcast is very faint. Please turn up your volume.

Tue, 9 May 2006 At last, the media event you've all been waiting for - and no, it's not just the trapped miners being brought above ground at last, thank God. No, I'm talking about the Spin podcast returning after, well, extensive "technical difficulties." And what a shame our return to the i-waves is too late to replace Foofighters on Todd and Brant's iPods. They could have listened to some fabulous tips (from our professional spinmeisters and our even more lateral listeners) on how to convert their underground nightmare into a dreamy media-funded lifestyle where they'll never have to work again. Also, the Spin team works out how to solve the Victorian liberals woes again (tip #1 get iPod, listen to Spin) and also has some good goss about sneaky new marketing techniques. So for all that and more, and just in case you're ever stuck a kilometre underground without your iPod, download this week's long-awaited return-of-Richo episode of The Spin with Richo, Katters and Little Boy.
