There’s this podcast that I listen to called “Get This”. It is from Triple M radio in Australia. It features Tony Martin, Ed Kavalee and Richard “Armitage Shanks” Marsland. They have made a Limited Edition CD called Illegal Download. There is only 1000′s copies of this and it is only available to callers and hopefully e-mailers of the show. It contains a lot of the stuff that they couldn’t put on the website or have in the podcast so I have missed out. I would sell one of “me plums” for one of these.
I became a fan of MMM from my forum friend Eve who suggested it for podcasts. Since the first show I heard I was hooked. The premise of the show is to talk to a different co-host every day, discuss ultra geeky things and make you laugh out loud.
Tony Martin comes from a small town in New Zealand that was so boring, the only activity on the weekend was for the kids to do burnouts around the towns giant wooden bottle. Add a flood and humor ensues.
Tony is the writer of the book “Lolly Scramble: A Memoir of Little Consequence” which is next to impossible to get here in the States.
Ed Kavalee is the man of the broken promises. He also is part of the cast of “Thank God Your Here” and the KFC ads. While he’s not quite a pro on the ping-pong table he is the master of the crap gifts. The thing I want to know is “Do they make burlaps sacks big enough for you?”
Richard Marsland has about as many nicknames as he has buttons on his panel. He is always ready for any sound at a moments notice.
The official Get This web page is here GET THIS HOMEPAGE
On it you will find various show notes and a great library of some of the soundclips from the show.

BTW- Just in case anyone from the Get This team reads this I wanted to let you know that I saw Howard Jones in concert back in the early 90′s. It was him and a grand piano (no synth). My Friend Tone worked for a ticket agent and received them for free. The bad part was he also had tickets to David Byrne a few nights later and took someone else to that. I never forgave him.
