AM radio is one of radio’s most popular forms… of radio; Meandering. Opinionated. Old time-ee. Mono. All are accurate descriptions. So when 4 (increasingly less) young guys considered getting a show together on Radio Adelaide 101.5FM, as a guise mainly to exploit the recording and Internet facilities for personal use, they decided to draw on the extremely deep well of material radiating at the speed of light from the transmission towers belonging to the city’s top 2, highly rating AM stations. One left. One right. Both ripe for parody.

But for fear of retribution, and for something a little different, they decided to conduct the show entirely in character. To the right, David M. Green plays Norman Vine, self-made man and entrepreneur with many a commercial arrangement. On the left, it’s Nick Godfrey, aka Dr Kevin Goodall, socially conscious academic from The Flinders University. Anchoring the show to stop it moving about in the night is Adam Navarro as his AM radio alter-ego, “Adam.” And lastly, because his own name was good enough already, Voice-Over’s Tim Wray in the newsroom.

Now hear On The Yacht broadcast Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7am and 7pm on the world’s indie broadcaster – traxxRADIO.
