YOUR
MOTHER WAS A HAMPSTER!
"Your father smelt of elder berries?"
Nat "you rock" Kitingan,
Michael "let me consider the political implications of that
statement" Elbourne and
Aaron "the nibbler" Elbourne to taunt you some more.
Nat, what role has Mongolian Yak Farmers
played in your life?
Well, I find that they are a great inspiration to me as their perfected method
of cheese making motivates me in my daily walk.
Really? What kind of influences in
particular do these Yak farmers have on your life?
I feel that my hairstyle closely resembles the essence of the Mongolian yak
farming industry.
What about Peruvian yak wrestlers, how do
you see the differences between this occupation and that of Mongolian yak
farmers?
I refuse to have anything to do with Peruvian yak wrestlers!
What is you musical Background?
I listen to all kinds of rock, ranging from acoustic to death metal. I'm
particularly into the heavier side of Christian rock.
Michael, how does the fact that Mongolia
sold out their entire supply of native language bibles affect you?
Excellent! We haven't had very much Christian music from Mongolia so I'm
hoping to hear some fresh tunes sometime soon.
Does the fact that Vietnamese authorities
have been deliberately jamming radio stations that play Christian music worry
you?
Why of course it does. This is clearly an infringement of the Hmong
people's right to religious freedom. I think a critical role the media
plays in our society is to make us aware of such issues that usually get swept
under the carpet. 3MU gives us a chance to bring these issues to light.
Aaron, what do you reckon is the best
thing about student radio?
Well, apart from letting people know about Christian Music, I think taking up
the cause of the Peruvian Yak Wrestlers is very important.
How does the fact that there are no Yaks
in Mongolia affect you?
What?!!!
