Boxcutters (podcast)
Boxcutters[1] is an Australian podcast dedicated to the discussion of television. It is produced weekly, and usually uploaded on a Monday. Shows average around 70 minutes, although there is no set length, and it is recorded at the studios of 3RRR. It was created by Josh Kinal, Ross McQueen and Brett Cropley, and is currently hosted by Cropley, Kinal and John Richards.
Boxcutters was created in 2005 and recently celebrated its 200th edition with guest Myf Warhurst, and special messages from Margaret Pomeranz, Peter Hitchener and Craig McLachlan[2].
As well as reporting news, Boxcutters created some in 2008 when they were the first to report that Channel Nine was closing their European news bureau, a story then picked up by The Australian[3] and other media outlets. They also reported the death of Eartha Kitt three weeks before it happened, although this was simply a mistake. They were the profiled in The Age Green Guide in 2009[4].
