The Rocket Show
Starring: Shane Downey & Marshall Davis
The Rocket Show was a weekly radio show in Brisbane, Australia that ran from April 2008 to March 2009. The show's focus was to promote local Australian music.
However, more often than not, Shane and Marshall would start talking about sex, violence, things you could buy for $5 and various uses for the food in your kitchen.
When they stopped talking about sex long enough to do an interview they were able to get the big names of Australian Music...... Dave Gleeson (Screaming Jets); Diana Anaid; Abby Skye; Letter To Spain, Happenstance and many more.
Enjoy some of the best bits of The Rocket Show........

Sometimes a good idea can be to let an idea stay as an idea. Marshall and Shane wanted to use their youth orientated station to reach out to teens and young adults and help educate them on Men's and Women's health issues. Unfortunately the result was The Rocket Show Sex Show, which basically became a downward descent into strange areas. Part 1 of 7, introduces the whole show and Alan poses a strong question to the crew. The Old Man talks about: The LogiesThe "old man" was a regular guest on The Rocket Show who was called by Marshall and Shane to talk about all kinds of things.
He first came to the attention of The Peanut Gallery crew many years before when he appeared in a news article (and subsequent audio clip) after branding his wife's buttocks. (check out that clip over at the Peanut Gallery page here) This particular week the guys called him to get his view on the Australian TV Logie Awards (of 2008). What followed was.......well, it was interesting..... Ghost Podcast: Part 2Part 2 of Shane and Marshall's chat to Tino Pezzimenti (from UFO Queensland).

2008 was the first year of the Rocket Show. It was also the year of the emergence of the horrible tale of Josef Fritzl in Austria. That story broke in April of '08. For 3 months both Shane and Marshall had successfully prevented Alan Rutledge from talking about the case and potentially making an offensive joke about it. This show, they both failed.
