Ziggy Blasco knows how to turn fear into hate. A talk-back host whose power rests in his influence over his audience, he fills Sydney’s airwaves with his appeals to a particular brand of 'common-sense', his hard stance on terrorists and his lashings at political correctness. But in the private sphere, Ziggi’s influence is fading away. A scathing and bitingly funny play about the media personalities that dominate our lives and the divisions that can shatter families.

EXTRACT: ..so you can't live in Vaucluse, and you can't drive a BMW and you can't dine out at Tetsuya's three times a week, but with sensible choices and a careful budget, life should be perfectly fine. If you choose to live beyond your means, it's your fault, buddy, no one else's. Hey, the switchboard's lit up. Let's hear what you've got to say out there. Veronica from Ryde. Veronica, can you credit that these people - the so called 'working poor', are going to charity agencies and brushing aside the real poor and grabbing whatever they can?
