Listen "How did Jacko get his nickname, broadcasting from East Timor and the latest election vibe"
Episode Synopsis
Lost Ipswich Facebook page founder Jacko, who until recently was promotions manager at The Jets, reveals how he got the nickname. We also go back about 25 years and remember workforce parties and Star 106.9 broadcasting from East Timor. Also on the show what’s the vibe a couple of months out from the council election and Ipswich Civic Centre’s new approach to comedy. Walter Williams and Ashleigh Mac join the show for our regular yarn over the back fence.Published: 16 January 2024.Theme music: www.purple-planet.comLocal government elections: https://www.ecq.qld.gov.au/elections/election-events/2024-local-government-electionsIpswich Today election watch: https://ipswichtoday.com.au/ipswich-election-watch/Ipswich City Council: www.ipswich.qld.gov.au/Council meeting agendas and minutes: bit.ly/2JlrVKYCouncil meetings on YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/IpswichCityCouncilTVIpswich Planning Scheme: https://bit.ly/3g4Jwb7Shape Your Ipswich: www.shapeyouripswich.com.au/Ipswich Civic Centre: www.ipswichciviccentre.com.au/Ipswich Art Gallery: www.ipswichartgallery.qld.gov.au/Discover Ipswich: www.discoveripswich.com.au/Ipswich Libraries: www.ipswichlibraries.com.au/Studio 188: www.studio188.com.au/Nicholas Street Precinct: www.nicholasst.com.au/Picture Ipswich: www.pictureipswich.com.au/Lost Ipswich Facebook: https://bit.ly/3pLLBwNcLocal Ipswich News: https://localipswichnews.com.au/
