The man, the myth, the mackerel, Fergus Mackerel – it’s Mr Radio!
Yowie Zowie! Look who’s coming over the airwaves! It’s Fergus Mackerel! Hold onto his tasteful pony tail with both hands – the radio is a perilous place.
Every Tuesday on 98.5½, Fergus Mackerel dishes out his signature on air tomfoolery with surprise guests, free life coaching, tips to start your own cult, top 10 best pet disguises, live audience call-ins, extra-terrestrial celeb interviews and a carousel of brand-new totally original never before heard classic tunes. It’s 3am, absolutely anything could happen. Anything!
Twist your knobs and flick your antenna for this brand-new bizarre hour of buffoonery from local bozos Handful of Bugs. Creators of such classics as Jester’s Privilege (★★★★, The Age) and Bigfoot: In Plain Sight (★★★★★, Lilithia Reviews).
Video did not kill the radio star and whoever keeps saying that needs to stop because it’s not true, seriously.
