Linda Marigliano- a yoof presenter at a yoof station! Whoo-hoo!
Linda Marigliano (born 1988) is an Australian radio announcer, best known for her work on fbi radio and Triple J.
On fbi radio she presented the weekday arvo shift and on Triple J she hosted the Mid-dawn shift occasionally during the week.
On January 8, 2007, Linda starts her role as weekday lunch presenter on Triple J (12-3pm) weekdays, replacing previous presenter Myf Warhurst.
That'd be a first..a newbie only aged 19, getting the prime permanent weekday lunch spot!!
what's myf doing?
god help us.
fuck, that's young. how old was that michael tunn cunt? he was a wee one wasn't he?
pumpuptheallah will be spewing!
myf's moving to breakfast with jay and the doctor.
So they've promoted a graveyard presenter.
Any insomniacs actually heard her?
jay and the doctor... yuk.
are they based in sydney? does that mean myf's leaving melbourne?
As far as I know Myf has already relocated to Sydney.
If you wanna get past a certain point in JJJ/the ABC at large, you've got to be based in Sydney.
myf already moved to sydney in 2006 to live with her then boyfriend..didn't work out though-but she's in sydney now anyways.
why is myf moving to breakie? too much testosterone? hmmm, i dunno whether i really want to hear myf in the early morning :(. i like the boys on their own
What about spicks and specks? that's gonna be hard work. If 'jump the shark' exists on radio, I'll say the addition of Myf is the nail to the coffin. Seriously what the hell? She was good on her own as do the Frenzal guys. Now it just reminds me of commercial radio.
she became too high-profile because of spicks and specks so triple j management decided to go with the flow & put her in a higher rating timeslot.
Wowsers, go Linda!!!
Click image for a slightly funny interview.
Linda is awesome. I worked with her at fbi for the last few years, and I'm not surprised she was poached by JJJ. She's a natural.
I think this is her myspace...says she's a married lesbian-that's hott!
kinda a smart move on behalf of the idiots behind the mega branding of JJJ, they must be getting increasingly worried about lil ol' FBi..
what's with people in the music industry making a joke about absolutely everything? hasn't that gotten old yet?
whatcha mean?
absolutely not
do you mean the interview with linda? i think those interviews are a bit embarrassing to fill out.
i do mean that kind of interview. you ask a visual artist what his inspirations are and he'll write you 10 pages of the most passionate response ever. you ask a sociologist what got them into studying the relationship between art and commerce in tokyo and its hard to shut them up.
musicians and music people in general are way too "australian" sometimes. ie. they don't take themselves seriously enough! (though of course there's some ugly exceptions)
She's from Teenagers in Tokyo isn't she? Gonna miss her on FBI.
hahaha. a la eskimo joe.
fair call... it's hard to find earnest and interesting examples of those interviews. but i think it's got a lot to do with the way music comes to you. for visual artists or sociologists, in some ways they are given to very specific influences or mind-changing events. music, however, is absolutely everywhere, and you tend to go through at least two or three different over-arching styles before settling on what you like in adult life, particularly as a broadcaster, journo or musician. and the field is so incredibly vast... i have never been able to name a favourite artist or album.
this is true. by "australian" i wasn't just referring to australians however. its just a phrase i use when people don't take themselves seriously so it could definitely apply to international acts too!
if she's from teenagers in toyko though that is very much their SHTICK. so in actual fact she's taking herself incredibly seriously...
Lindas great...Ive worked with her on FBi too.
Shes a quick witt, very smooth and a big flirt :)
ha shane warne is a BIG FLIRT. that my friend is no compliment...
Im meant ..
interviewing wise,shes good and she can tease :)
Warney is a slut not a flirt
I'm interested to hear her!
Of course you are!
Linda is great - good on her
She also happens to be hawt, just like Myf.
oh rad. linda is cool
myf's not hot. she's a butter troll.
bah, shoulda been levins.
she's going really well...fantastic radio voice.
yeahhh i recognise her. have seen her around the traps a fair bit.
i wonder if levins will take the triple j mid-dawn shift haha
who's levins??
The J's aren't Krunkin enough for Lev Dawg!
who's levins??
Are you serious? He's the other wunderkind from fbi. Yet to be poached by triple j but it can only be a matter of time.
i don't understand why they are paying for three presenters in the morning. it is stupid. no wonder ABC's funding is reduced all the time.
damn straight. levins is da master yo. soon to be poached by everyone.
i'm gonna poach levin's pants
I don't listen to fbi, I'm from melbourne.
there are plenty of melbourne presenters who will be poached by triple j too.
sticks up nose
fuck off melbourne
that's the spirit.
Did anyone hear the interview Linda did with TISM a few years back. So funny I almost crashed my car.
