For four years, I’ve been a part of the Breakfasters on Triple R (102.7 FM). Triple R is a jewel in the Melbourne cultural landscape, supported by more than 10,000 subscribers who put up their hard-earned to ensure there’s at least one station on the air that’s not giving away mobile phones.

We have two new segments in 2006, and are looking for contributions

Help Me Harmsy (Tues 8.15am)

Do you need help from this man?

John Harms is not a know-it-all, but give him 24 hours and a decent search engine, and he’s a know-it-most. Not only that, he’s experienced in the wiles of the world, and possessed of a great vocabulary and a Queensland property developer’s smile.

With so much to offer, the Breakfasters’ are offering you the chance to seek help from Harmsy, in much the same way as the Beatles sought help from Maharishi. Topics so covered so far include:

What is a good first car?
What should I put in my year 11 essay on McCarthyism?
Which double should I aim for in a game of darts?
Is there a God?

Harmsy answered all of these, and even had time with the God question to answer a follow up query on whether Lutherans are allowed to drink.

Please email your question to breakfasters@rrr.org.au .
No manual labour requests please.

Is Harmsy the new Maharishi?

The Professionals (Thurs 7.15am )

After the runaway success of ‘In Theatre With Dr Cass’ last year, we have a spin-off segment — a Breakfasters equivalent of ‘Joanie Loves Chachie’ or ‘Wings’. This year, instead of Dr Cass answering medical questions from film and television, we are casting the net wider. With ‘The Professionals’, we want any person working any job or (serious) hobby to tell us how realistically that profession is depicted in film and television. The great thing is, we get to play The Professionals theme song, and I get to pretend I ever saw an episode. (I was more a ‘Simon and Simon’ man).

So far, barrister Matt Kowalski has answered questions from ‘A Few Good Men’ and ‘Nightshift’, mountain climber Mark George has sorted out ‘Cliffhanger’ (apparently nobody is wearing a Stallone muscle shirt on Everest), comedian Lawrence Mooney handled ‘Seinfeld’ and ‘Annie Hall’ and a ‘Misery’ conscious Christos Tsiolkas admitted that a woman once yelled ‘You dirty bird’ to him at a literary signing ‘Misery’.

If you have a job that has a film or television equivalent, we’d love to hear from you. For example you might be

An archeologist (Indiana Jones)
A coroner (Quincy)
A headmaster (Ed Rooney in Ferris Bueller, The Breakfast Club)
A dentist (Little Shop of Horrors)
A professional boxer (Rocky)
A madam (Best Little Whorehouse in Texas)
A maxillofacial surgeon (Face Off)

Please contact us at breakfasters@rrr.org.au. Particularly if you are an army basic training hard-arse http://www.rrr.org.au/onair.php?paid=2888&prid=1

Boy do we have some questions for you.
