John Cleese on Radio and Creativity

Some excellent podcasts by John Cleese have been published, taped at Commercial Radio Australia in Sydney last year. His speech has been serialized into four parts, here, here, here and here, Most of the references to radio are in the first two episodes (including some great radio commercials from the 60's, 70's) and in the last episode after the comments about hotels. He complains about the cost of doing things in TV because people don't want to take risks and it is run by marketing people not people who are passionate about content. Very true.
