This week it’s all about the money as the team looked into Generation Y and the workforce. We considered the reality many Gen Y students face – unemployment after Uni. Whilst Will took a look into the world of drug dealing, uncovering the extent some people will go to make money. Gen Y uncovers it all.

One of the weeks presenters, Tom H, introduced our listeners to some helpful things that the fabulous virtual world has to offer, while the ever popular Prude Police uncovered myths to do with Generation Y’s frivolous spending habit’s and their supposed poor work ethic.

This week hit on some hard issues but lightened it up with great tunes and hilarious presenters, Tom H & Alex. Roxy kept everyone in line as this week’s producer & Jess tackled the on-air panel for the first time.

Program #5

Kristen and Tom H have been with you this week on Y, and they delved into Generation Y musicians in Adelaide this week playing all local tracks.

 We heard from a bunch of local artists and got their perspective on being a Generation Y original musician in Adelaide, Discussed Youth Week, and called upon the Prude Police again featuring Roxy.

Simon also conducted an experiment as the geek of the week which involved him avoiding listening to any music for the whole week!

For variety, Bill looked into the way Generation Y use grammar and English a little differently! Tune in next week on the 21st for the Lincoln Sharp of Australian Idol interview, and dont forget to Twitter the presenters during the show for an on air response! twitter.com/genyradio.
