I love the transcripts for this radio show.
Delving back a bit, I found this one.

I mean.. look at this analysis:
Abbie Thomas: A risk-taking personality, a taste for fine music and an excellent memory – it seems that fish have it all.

and
Calum Brown: That’s right, and no wonder! I mean if I was a goldfish stuck in a bowl with nothing but a little glass bowl and some gravel I tell you what, I’d go mad as well.


Be kind to your dinner. It may have been pondering Socrates before it was caught and killed

LOL! Is this a part of your 'Australian fetish', poking around our Australian National station? Pity you couldn't catch Karl on JJJ in his heydays. :( I have one of his segments on tape in my car - talking about lightning. Should have taped the lot of them... perhaps they're for sale somewhere, I know the books are available.

Well yes/no.
I was looking for educational material and found this nifty website, and then I got all excited when I saw...hey...wait... it's OZZIE!!!

I've been reading some transcripts.
I like it. It hits on some very good points, but it doesn't seem to bore the audience with lots of dry theory; it's a banter with facts and it's just very nice.
