Wed, 30 August 2006 It's the second hour of The Spin LIVE at the Lomond Hotel for the team's final show on Triple R. So far Boydy has only crapped on about the AWB 30 to 40 times and really it has been fodder for the sell out stadium crowd. The greatest hits keep rolling out. Come in Spinner, Celebrity Bandwagon, Subbie of the year, Spin Doctor in Trouble and Best WOPPA's of the past six years. Special guest The Eggman returns to the fold for one last conspriracy theory We predict who will win this year's Victorian state election, next year's Federal election and also the 2008 British general election. And then it all wraps up with cheers and tears. It's bigger than Dire Straits 'On the Night'. A big thank you to all those that have listened to The Spin over the years and more importantly subscribed. Your support has been invaluable to us and RRR and your feedback instructive when we have bothered to read it. And so that's it for The Spin on Triple R for the foreseeable future. That doesn't mean we won't be doing something in the future..we just have not thought of it yet! As Richo is known to say - 'Until then, have a nice day.' Regards, Richo, Boydy, Delilah, Willo, Little Boy, Scotty, the Rodent, Catters and Henrietta.

The Spin has never said it provides value for money and yet with one week to go before we pull up stumps the response from Triple R listeners to Radiothon 2006 has been fantastic. It is might be because this Sunday was Boydy's final show, or because he ranted about the AWB to background music provided by his favouite band, Simply Red. Most probably it was because you all love Triple R and that made you give your money to the station. Without your support the station could not continue. From all of us thank you so much. RRR Management said we had over 100 Spin subscribers come on board this week. It is a fantastic effort and much appreciated. We've had some lovely messages from subsrcibers wishing The Spin all the best. We'll read them out next week during our final two hour show. For details on the final gig, The Spin - Live click onto Special Events. We want to see you there so we can say goodbye.

Sun, 6 August 2006 What do Mel Gibson, Chris Tarrrant and Ian Mcfarlane have in common? They all did something unpopular this week...and yet not entirely unexpected. The difference? We only seem to care about Mcfarlane raising the interest rate. We preview the Melbourne Press Clubs annual conference which poses the question - Can journalists and spindoctors work together to bring you the real story? Can Hezbollah and Israel work together to bring peace in the Middle East? With the PM this week announcing his favourite band is Dire Straits listeners call in with suggestions for Peter Costellos ipod. Naomi Robson gets canned and Little Boy once again talks about Naomi on the can. And it is the end of an era. After more than six years on air The Spin has announced it is calling it quits. But we are going out with a bang. A LIVE show is scheduled for Sunday August 27. Naturally we want you there and details will be available soon. Just click on Special Events. Naomi is reported to be pleased.
