<h1>The Beast Of The SNRM</h1> <p> <p><i>&#8220;The owls are not what they seem&#8230;&#8221;</i></p> <p>No live show this week &#8211; a &#8216;beast-of&#8217; instead, albeit with ten dazzling minutes of new material, including a nightmarish (and profane) trip around the radio dial, and all too rare appearance from veteran news anchor Smack Torquelson and the &#8220;Newsmakers Investigates&#8221; team as they bust an internet child predator ring wide open.</p> <p>Rehashed instead of Spike working, a clip from the very first Rage Machine, Old Spike talks about being an &#8220;anti-war secular progressive liberal&#8221; and his love of the Fox News Channel.</p> <p>Spike prays, he&#8217;s rudely awoken by his Geordie conscience and covers a wide range of topics from shows of yore including being called the antithesis of a wine snob, agreeing with Bush on something (in principle), making dog food and glue out of a sporting legend, cutting tongues, fat kids and death by gaming. Phew.</p> <p>Business as usual with the live show and podcast next week, and hugebig props go to <span class="caps">WKLC</span>&#8217;s Dawn Cox for being such a great bipolar morning TV host.</p> </p>
