Were you one of the many, many Aussies who applied for Marc Fennell‘s gig at Triple J?
Well honestly, good luck to ya, because over 1000 people applied for that role. Hoooh boy.
The Triple J stalwart announced he was ending his 11-year gig as ‘That. Movie. Guy‘ last week, and flung open the doors for a nation-wide hunt to find that special someone to replace him.
@triplej Any word on who is replacing @MarcFennell ? Any standouts?

TBQH, the ‘nation-wide hunt’ thing was so massive that either you thought about applying, or knew someone who was thinking about it. Pity the poor fool who has to listen to one thousand amateur film reviews (of the same 10 films / tv shows, no less) before striking gold on ‘the one’.
