In this riveting, gobsmacking and also pretty good ep of Breaking Waves, Shai and Geoff realise that the problems of the world are insoluble and so console themselves and their listenership with their own personal insolubles. Does anything get solved? Listen and find out!! (ok, no. Nothing gets solved. Though Shai is happy to be living back home with his Mum and getting his ironing done).
But also, and quite importantly, this week’s very spesh guest is Laurie Barnes. Laurie is a legend in Australian baseball circles, has also coached Shai and won an Order of Australia medal for being a top bloke and promoting the game of Baseball (a game that Shai, not incidentally, is a bat-crazy expert in!) Laurie does the interview from his car. Listen out for the bits where he turns to his passenger, his old dad, to clarify a question from the past. It’s like Wikapop! And also listen for the the bit where a concerned motorist stops to ask if Laurie’s car has broken down and if he’s ok. Radio doesn’t get realer or more riveting than this!
