Also is it just me or do almost all the people that call into Triple J have some form of mental deficiency/illness? Or are they just really really stoned?
Yeah I used to call into JJJ all the time back in the day.
Also, JJJ does need to worry about ratings, because they're government funded and the government would pull the plug if it thought it wasn't getting enough listeners. Luckily, they do what they do very well which is to balance the hipper shit out with the stuff that might be more popular amongst the more culturally isolated people living way out in rural areas. If you really think JJJ should play more interesting music listen to 4ZZZ, RRR or whatever your local equivalent is.
