Local And/Or General
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Local and/or General" is a radio show on Triple R radio in Melbourne, Australia. It was created and hosted by Natalie Mitchell and Richard Moffat in 1997 and focuses on new Australian music. Many Australian bands had their first airplay on this program due to a policy of playing quality demo tapes and cds before an act was signed.
The name Local and/or General was borrowed from the name of a song and album by early 80s band The Models.
In 1998 Richard Moffat left the show, and Natalie hosted solo until 1999 when regular fill host, Ryan Egan joined the show as co-host. Natalie left the show in 2001 and Ryan continued hosting solo until 2007 and has now handed over the reigns to Jacinta Parsons.
