The Sounding Board is all thanks to Drinkwise .If you're choosing to have a drink, choose to DrinkWise.

0.0 - Shallow and manipulative or Horribly Admirable Hutchy? Discussion of the Hutchy profile by Konrad Marshall in the Good Weekend and why some people will take pot shots but not put their name to criticism.

7.00 – Winx went around again on Sunday. The horse has matured! Nick McKenzie’s story on 60 Minutes about Ben Roberts-Smith was extraordinary journalism to double down on a story that has already led to legal action. What level of fear would a journalist reporting on stories at this level feel?

20.00 - Spin City for Drinkwise. Damo attempts unsuccessfully to get Hutchy to be Kerry Stokes responding to an optics issue about Ben Roberts-Smith being a key 7 Network identity. Should Roberts-Smith stand down from his role at 7 while the allegations are being investigated?

26.15 - Inquest into Media Diversity. Is it popcorn worthy? Malcolm Turnbull’s comments about News Limited being ‘mafia like’. Is there really media diversity in Australia?

29.45 – Damo’s praise of The Masters coverage and the joy of high definition coverage.

30.20 – Glen Bartlett and the end of his time at Melbourne.

31.20 – Still no roaming Brian. Are COVID restrictions still the only thing at play in keeping BT out of the rooms? Hutchy campaigns to Bring back the Roam. #IRoamWithBT.

33.40 – Sco Mo – The Sound Biter. Vaccinating Australia IS a race!

Damo’s now in the AstraZeneca bracket (over 50) – will he accept that over the Pfizer vaccine?

38.15 – Eddie McGuire’s ‘blue print for the future of AFL’ got traction. Getting the story amplified by The Herald Sun was a feat in itself.

41.15 – Question of the Week for Drinkwise. Josh Shrive via Facebook asks

“There were a few grenades thrown in Good Weekend towards Hutchy. What's the best grenade you've received, the best you've dodged, and best you've thrown yourself? And Hutchy, who is your favourite talent across your media empire?”.
