 radio station. It is hosted by two crazy men named Leaping Larry L and Stew Farrell (AKA Fat & Knackered-not sure which is which though). It airs Thursdays from 2pm – 4pm. It began broadcasting in April 2007 and is going strong to this day. Amazingly the show has also done live to air broadcasts in front of an audience. Granted they didnt have to pay and were mainly drunk.

The topics often spoken of in the show are media stuff, real life and anything in between, also includes bulk swearing, groin and toilet references.

 incident).

The show also features regular text messages from listeners ranging in topics from compliments about the show (very rare) to people saying they don’t like to listen to the show (very common). Lately these messages have been ignored as Stew hasn't paid the phone bill. The listeners will often use dubious celebrity names as aliases, as they are generally afraid of being identified as a listener to this show.

One unnamed segment, but often spoken of: 'What is wrong with Melbourne's Public Transport system?'

Podcasts are made available when Leapster gets off his lazy backside and edits them. Generally about 6 months after the show first aired going by the current wait time. Although as of lately, due to the employ of another person, the podcasts seem to be posted a lot quicker. Perhaps a 3 month wait time now.

Playlists from the show are updated on the All Over The Shop Page on the 3RRR website - but that happens less that podcasts being posted. The music played on the show is chosen by the hosts and is extremely varied in styles, examples of bands played are ODB

just to name a few.

Interaction with listeners is often encouraged through the use of a Facebook Fan Page - although judging by most of the posts the people are not actually fans and just enjoy giving the guys a hard time. Which they often deserve.

Recently the show has decided to get into the merchandising business and sell supposedly limited edition T-Shirts. The only limit it seems if you are small you dont get one as the hosts think the rest of the world is fat like them.
