    I can remember hearing Gary O'Callaghan when I was a kid. Morning radio in Sydney was very different then. A far happier, more decent place.

        That gentle sparrow was the antithesis of that screeching, squawking hate-filled parrot.

        Gary's coverage of Evdokia Petrov being muscled on board a plane at Mascot was poignant, informative and quintessential Cold War stuff.

        Indeed. Gary appealed to our better side - our imaginations not prejudices like so many on radio today.

        I had to endure Mike Carlton. Don't know what my late father would think of Mike blocking me because I dared call him out on something.
