Friday Forum was a staple of Caroline Wilson's afternoon program during her time hosting 3AW's Afternoon program.  When Ernie Sigley took over the timeslot in the mid-1990s the segment was renamed "Friday Lunch." regulars came and went, but by 2002 Ernie was joined each week by Darren James and Denis Walter.
This album was released in late 2002 and contained many highlights from the segment that year.  Enjoy.
