To the polite inquiry of a few and the demand of no-one, here’s the mp3 of my conversation with our local ABC radio morning show host, Stan Thomson.
I returned a phone message left on our church’s machine on Wednesday morning, agreed to an interview for Thursday morning, arrived at the studio at 9.30am and was sitting down in front of a microphone at 9.34am.
Apart from being prepared for a ‘chat about Easter’, everything we did was spontaneous. Coming from the low-church end of town I had a few terrors about not knowing much about candles, days with funny names, curious rituals and the like. Stan was a very generous interviewer.
I am aware of the million little ums and arrs. This is my brain and vocal chord’s ingrained delay strategy against saying something glib, stupid, insulting or wrong. (Thanks again Mowbray Presbytery.)
I am also a bit jargony. My friend Chris is better at using everyday language for this sort of thing.
The beginning is missing. Stan opens by asking something about this being a busy weekend.
Somewhere over the course of the interview he also comes to think that my name is Gary Wade. Oh well.
Most people who listened seemed to like the exchange that took place around 7.30. The whole thing takes about ten minutes.

Gary the link to the audio file does not seem to be working…
it’s working now… =)
hey gary did you overlook my comment on your Geelong crucifixion blog? seems a shame to deprive the world of it…
Done. Why don’t you use the same ID all the time?
Well done Gary, you did a great job. I believe you faithfully, and clearly explained the gospel truths.
Great job Gary.
hi gary –
thanks for posting the interview – loved it
especially
“Is He coming back, Gary?”
“Yeah.”
(go ahead and delete my question above – thanks for posting the other comment – I’ll try to work out how to keep my id consistent)
Thought you did very well-as cassie (?) said (!) you clearly and faithfully explained gospel truths. Well done. See you Sunday.
