And the week before, stories of women on a sex strike to force political change, a clothing company surprised at the offence they created with the name of their shop – “Hitler”. Then there is the story of UK fire fighters who had to save a cow stuck in a tree; then there is news one man who decided to surprise his girlfriend by posting himself to her.

GENDER BIAS ON THE ABC – COMIC SEGMENT INVOLVING ME!
I love talking on the wireless. I particularly love chatting with Kelly Higgins-Devine and Mike Van Acker on the wireless on 612 ABC Brisbane. Which is why our new segment “Gender Bias” makes me so happy. Here’s how Kel describes it on their blog:
It’s a crazy world you live in and sometimes you find yourself looking for a bit of guidance, a sliver of moral compass as to what to make of this mad mad mad mad mad mad world.
Welcome to Gender Bias, a place of calm reflection, of considered thoughts, of moral outrage without the screaming.. but with a focus on how the male and female brains are wired so very differently.
In the pink corner – Kat “Nothing hurts more than a foot tattoo” Davidson and in the blue corner – Mike ” Try tattooing you finger ” Van Acker.
This first instalment covered lots of fun topics including Untidy at the Brisbane Comedy Festival.

Panel of Experts with Richard Fidler and Mike Van Acker (and me!)
Some of my favourite moments on radio have happened sitting across the desk from Richard Fidler as part of the Panel of Experts on Richard’s Afternoon program. This went live to air on August 19th and was a hoot and a half.
