Show Notes
With upgraded audio equipment, we're back for episode 4. We're joined by Get This alum Tony Wilson, where we cover sports, books, CDs covered in jam, the radio ratings system, and his memories of working with Tony Martin and appearing on Get This. Champagne Comedy Podcast regular Alison subs in for Natalie who is out this week, because in true Australian radio industry style, we (temporarily) replaced one woman with another.
We cover later 2006 material, reminiscing about what happens when you play songs from The Wiggles backwards, whether Ed is "keeping the girl happy" or "Dealing with Dickinson", Get This breaking out into new markets, and the beginnings of recurring references like Ed's KFC ad, Richard's many nicknames, and Passiona High.
Steven takes a stand on Tony, Ed and Richard's regular technical misnomers and interviews a true titan of the internet to correct the Get This team. And Nick Langdon is back for a review of a mid-90's cop drama "classic".
Check out Tony Wilson's substack, "Good one, Wilson!", and his new movie, "Ange and The Boss".

More from People Want Ducks
We're back with the second part of our interview with Ed Kavalee! We dive deeper into the radio industry, Channel 9 stars, Ed's lookalikes, Ed's singing, Richard, Leigh Whannell and other celebrity guests, Cop This, and much much more. Also stay tuned at the end for an impromptu interview Natalie scored with a People Want Ducks fan.
In another coup for People Want Ducks, we've secured our movie reviewer Nick Langdon to join us on the podcast! Oh, and we also got Ed Kavalee too. Listen to how Ed got onto the show, his paneling skills and the fate of the pilot, his thoughts on Richard, his movie preferences, the KFC ad, Get This callers, flying helicopters indoors, and share houses. And was Ed's flatmate "John" really Ash Williams? Tune in to find out.
We're back with our third and final part of our conversation with Tony Martin! We talk about the "Save Get This" rally, the cancellation of the show and rumours about its possible continuation, including a potential TV project. We take a dive into movies and Nick Langdon's audit of all the films ever mentioned on Get This, and we "expose" Natalie to Shortbus. Politics, Richard Marsland, the legacy of Get This and more— Tony delivers more than just relief at the bowser.
We're back with more from Tony Martin! In this second part of our conversation, we discuss the music, management, ratings, and Matt comes clean with a confession about an outage which knocked out Get This in Brisbane for a day — shocking horror, another cover up? We also debunk some myths, and hear Tony's thoughts on how long Get This might have continued on for had it not been for the thugs in the scallop industry.
You asked, we (well, Natalie) delivered: Tony Martin! In this first part of our interview with him, we discuss how Get This came to be, starting with Tony's time on Tough Love and how he caught the eye of Peter Harvie (not the guy from Canberra), and the first few months of the show. There's much more to come, so stay tuned to the People Want Ducks podcast!
