TPN on 60 Minutes!

Got confirmation from the producers at 60 MINUTES today that they'll be coming over to do an interview with us next Tuesday for their Sept 11 show. That's should be fun. I'll be setting up a video camera to record as much of the raw interview as possible. And I'm hoping it will get TPN in front of a larger Aussie audience. Shows like the AFL Show, and Matt, Freak and the Fatboy in particular should have a much larger Aussie audience. Last time I hear, 60 MINUTES had an audience of 1.6 million odd people. Not sure if they are our target audience though. Not sure our target audience watches 60 MINUTES...

I'd reckon having your own video camera set up to record the interview will have them freaking out and getting on the cellphone. What they consider to be copyright issues may arise. Should prompt some interesting questions from them ....

On the other hand, they may be as cool as.

But serious, congrats! Should have Kerry knocking on the door any minutue now.

Good for you dude. You guys are doing good deeds and deserve the recognition. I'm addicted to podcasting now, and yours was the first one i got.

Congrats Cameron!

[Adam Bomb]

Woot!
You know what would be great? For you to point out your great international audience, and your shows targetted at North American listners, like The NBA Show...
nice work guys.

Way to go, Cameron! Should be an interesting experience...I can't wait to hear about it. Are you going to wear your trademark shades?

[Tony]

Don't forget your tablet PC and bring up your Radio is Boring message for the world to see.

[Scott Sherman]

Wow! You were just interviewed for radio and now the telly! Maybe next week, you'll really hit it big and be interviewed for a podcast !

What's the actual 60 mins story about? Have they given you much information about what angle they are planning to take?

[Rob Irwin]

I get the feeling some of these respondants are assuming its the US version of 60 Minutes, as if a localised, Australian version couldn't possibly exist...

[matt]

Yeah they are!

yeah it's the Aussie 60 Minutes folks, but I'm sure the US show will want to use it, I am so much fun! And yes, I intend wearing the sunnies. And yes, we have discussed the "angle" but I don't want to spoil the surprise, you have to watch. My dear wife Belinda tells me there is NO WAY the 60 Minutes crew will let me video the interview. So watch the show folks! And, whatever you do, please don't record it and please don't make it available over BIT TORRENT. Please.

[Phillip Molly Malone]

What about hidden Mics (like Mick did with the Today show)?

Give you a dollar if you scratch or touch your nose during each answer :)

[Cameron Reilly]

Molly - nah I don't want to be sneaky. I want them to dig the idea and grok to the idea.

Michael - a dollar? you wanna make it a little more interesting?

[MattyT]

Congrats guys! I goddamn hate 60 minutes but the exposure will be great for you. :)

[michael quinn]

Double or nothing on all the coffees you owe me ? :)

[Trevor Cook]

Excellent
