I listen to this show every Friday at work and it is but far the most refreshing show on 1116 SEN.
Doran has nicknamed the first 2 hours ‘Casual Friday’ with Daniel Harford and Ripa Rita.
I say refreshing because they don’t always rely on callers like other shows on SEN. Sure they do have callers but it’s usually a humorous question and people have to give silly answers. A prime example would be one day a singer wrote a song about Mark Viduka (Australian Soccer Captain) and a bloke rang in and said “why doesn’t the singer write a song about me, I haven’t scored a goal for Australia either.”
I found that hilarious.
Casual Fridays are good because it is almost nice to hear a women talk about sport. Rita has got great knowledge of sport and speaks with sense and is unbiased.
When you listen you almost feel that you have a day off because it sounds so relaxed. I bet its one of the most hard working show on 1116 because it sounds that way and they all know when to talk.
From 2-3pm its the All Sports Update with Matthew Thompson. This is an hour where Thompson talks about all the big stories of the day in detail. After about half and hour of that they ask for callers about their views on the news.
Then 3-4 is the ultimate sports guide thanks to Michael Eskanda dot com. Mark previews what will happen in sport for the weekend with all the odds thanks to www.michaeleskanda.com.
It would be difficult to find different topic each day for 5 day a week and talk for 4 hours each day. Also by 12pm all the main topics in sport have been covered by Morning Glory (6-9am) and Hungry for Sport (9am-12 noon).
Doran does a great show for 20 hours per week.
