Bruce Argyle, in partnership with Cora Zon have been featuring on the popular Community Conversations hour on Yarra Valley 99.1FM for the past eight years.
In these broadcast sessions, Bruce has interviewed over 300 residents of the Yarra Valley from different groups and with interesting occupations.
Early in 2017, in what could only be called an epiphany, Bruce thought, “what if we held a series of interviews with fictitious characters who have far-fetched, nonsensical occupations?”
Bruce approached Lindsay Frost, a regular on Bruce’s morning shows with the idea. From the outset Bruce and Lindsay had an easy-going comic chemistry on air in the John Clarke and Richard Dawes style.
And so began A Strange Business. Witty and pun-filled banter that bordered on the ridiculous but in a good, easy listening and family friendly way.
Each fortnight, live on air, with the opening lines of “Thanks for having me on.” “Having people on is what we do!” Bruce and Lindsay launch into an hour of mayhem.
In response to listener feedback and to share the fun with a different audience a compilation of these favourite programs is now in print as ‘A Strange Business’ and will be launched as part of the new YVFM99.1 Studio Opening in Healesville at 3pm on Friday 03 March.
This is a limited edition and is sure to be well received by anyone who enjoys clever humour.
