A special episode about Radio Cockroach

Welcome, Cockroaches, to Series 3 Episode 3.

We have a darn good go at bursting a bit of the Canberra Bubble – some of it’s quite funny, and some of its not, and all of it is encouraging and hopeful!

Greg Fleet is back with a film review.

And your soothing water oriented lullaby at the end is exquisite.

Take it easy. Think about it. Laugh about it. And sleep the sleep of the just.
