Celebrity Apps, "The Advocate" & Shakira!

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

ONLINE:



Celebrity apps! We're living in an iPhone culture, where it's all about apps and getting entertainment directly from our phone. Dave reports on the celebrities that have jumped on this band wagon and review their apps. Who has the better value app? Britney, Pussycat Dolls or Lady Gaga? From the look of these time wasters, we reckon a Diff'rent Strokes app could easily be more fun.

MAGAZINES:



Jade reviews "The Advocate" magazine - an American gay and lesbian monthly magazine. Tune in to her talk about the magazine's content and style, and whether there's a market for a regular GLBTIQ news magazine in Australia.

MUSIC:



Dave reviews Shakira's latest album She Wolf. Tune to hear him go as far as touting this as one of his albums of the year. As always, there will be an 'album in the blend' - so you can sample four tracks off the record.

Tony, Unusual USBs & Dashboard Confessional!

This week on Diff'rent Strokes Jade and Dave reunites with fellow SYN alumni, Anthony McCormack. Tune in to hear the real voice behind our famous Diff'rent Strokes intro live and in action with us in the studio.

TV:



Our special guest, former Naughty Rude TV producer Anthony McCormack talks about life in community TV, Channel 31 going digital and a certain TV bigwig knocking on NRTV's door.

ONLINE:



It's technically more technology than 'online' per se. Dave talks about the weird and wonderful USB flash drives! Why settle for a garden variety plain black one when you could have a Bento box or Yoda dangling from the side of your laptop?

MUSIC:



Jade reviews Dashboard Confessional's new album Alter The Ending. As a big fan of old school angsty Dashboard material, how will she take to the new material? Tune in to hear an 'album in the blend' - letting you sample four tracks off the album.
