PERTH PROCLAIMER TAKES OVER THE AIRWAVES: RADIO WASHROOM JUST GOT A PROMPT
Somewhere between algorithm fatigue and being told what to think by people who still live with their parents, something clicked. Not loudly, not dramatically, just a quiet moment where enough was enough.
And like most Gen X decisions, it wasn’t announced with a press conference, it just… happened.
Perth Proclaimer has officially taken over Radio Washroom.
No corporate fluff, no committee of feelings, no diversity quota meeting that runs longer than the actual show. Just a simple idea, build something real, and make it better than anything else out there.
Now before anyone starts clutching their ethically sourced oat milk, let’s clear something up.
We are not here to push politics, sell outrage, or lecture people between songs like some kind of digital school assembly. We are here to entertain, connect, and remind people what radio actually used to feel like.
Because once upon a time, radio was alive. It had personality, Smarts, humour, and just enough chaos to keep you tuned in.
It didn’t need a trigger warning before a guitar solo.
What you’re getting now is an upgrade.
Not just a few buttons and sliders changed, but a full overhaul driven by people who remember life before everything needed approval. A system built with intention, not stitched together by someone chasing trends.
And yes, we’re applying the Gen X mentality to all of it.
W
hich means common sense is back on the menu, sarcasm is fully operational, and nobody is getting cancelled for having a personality. It also means if something is funny, it stays, regardless of whether it offends someone who went looking to be offended.
Let’s be honest, modern media is exhausting. Everything is filtered, curated, sanitized, and wrapped in a layer of corporate fear. Even the jokes sound like they’ve been approved by legal.
We’re not doing that.
We’re not interested in being the safest option in the room.
We’re interested in being the most real.
Radio Washroom is about to become something people actually look forward to again.
A place where you can tune in and not feel like you’re being managed like a liability.
A place where the hosts sound like humans, not training manuals.
And yes, we know exactly what that puts us on. Somewhere near the top of the ideological hit list.
Right between “people who ask questions” and “people who don’t apologise for existing.”
To which we say, good - If being normal, having a laugh, and not bending to every passing trend gets you on a list, then we’ll bring snacks and make ourselves comfortable.
We’ve been on worse lists, usually at school, and we survived those just fine.
The truth is, we don’t care about chasing approval. We actually care about building something people actually enjoy. And those two things rarely exist in the same room anymore.
There will be music, real music, not just algorithm-approved background noise.
There will be conversations, proper ones, not scripted segments designed to avoid risk.
And there will be special guests who actually have something to say.
Not influencers reading off talking points.
Not activists trying to win arguments nobody asked for.
Just people with stories, opinions, and the ability to laugh at themselves.
We’re bringing back that feeling of tuning in and not knowing exactly what’s coming next.
Because unpredictability used to be part of the magic. Now it’s treated like a liability - were not having it.
Gen X doesn’t see it that way.
We see it as oxygen.
Without it, everything starts to feel the same.
And let’s talk about this obsession with “inclusion” for a second.
Not the genuine kind, where people are treated with respect and given a fair go.
We’re talking about the performative version, where boxes matter more than people.
We’re not playing that game. If you’re good, you’re in.
If you’re interesting, you’re welcome.
If you can hold a conversation without turning it into a lecture, you’re already ahead of half the industry. That’s the only standard that matters here.
Not what you tick on a form, but what you bring to the table.
Because forced inclusion isn’t inclusion, it’s branding. And branding doesn’t make great radio.
People do.
We’re building this for the listeners who are tired of being talked down to.
For the ones who just want to laugh, think, and enjoy something without being analysed.
For the ones who remember when entertainment didn’t come with instructions.
And yes, we fully expect some noise when this launches.
There will be articles, opinions, probably a few dramatic posts about how we’re everything wrong with the world. We’ll read them, laugh, and then get back to doing what we do.
Because outrage is predictable.
And predictable things don’t scare Gen X.
They just get filed under “background noise” and ignored.
What does matter is the response from real people.
The ones who tune in, stay, and come back the next day.
That’s the only metric worth paying attention to.
This is not about competing with anyone. It’s about outlasting the nonsense.
Because trends come and go, but authenticity tends to stick around.
We’ve seen enough cycles to know how this plays out.
Something gets popular, gets overcorrected, gets diluted, and eventually collapses under its own weight.
Then people start looking for something real again.
That’s where we come in.
Not trying to reinvent the wheel, just reminding people it actually works.
And it doesn’t need a committee to roll forward.
So over the next few months, things are going to take shape.
Systems upgraded, content refined, voices brought in.
All of it built with one goal, make it worth your time.
No filler.
No forced narratives.
No background agenda quietly steering the ship.
Just good radio.
The kind that makes you stay in the car a little longer.
The kind that makes you laugh out loud when you didn’t expect it.
And if that puts us at number one on some ideological hit list, so be it.
We’ve never been particularly interested in fitting in.
That’s kind of the whole point.
Gen X doesn’t need permission to build something.
We just build it.
And if it works, it works.
So consider this the heads up.
Not a polished announcement, not a rehearsed campaign.
Just a straight-up message.
Radio Washroom is getting rebuilt.
Perth Proclaimer is behind the wheel.
And it’s about to sound a lot more like real life again.
