Stump the Chumps: Tuesday 14 November at 1830 AEST

Stump The Chumps is back for 2023.   We tackle the interesting, hard, silly, annoying and downright intriguing questions – and we do it live, without a safety net.  Our ChumpStumpers know no boundaries, and no question is too insane for us to have a go.

On Tuesday 14 November, the team of experts is back – chumps who between them might know absolutely everything or completely nothing – and we’ve tasked them with answering your questions. You set the level of difficulty.   We’re so confident that our chumps are up for the challenge that we’re not going to put a restriction on the questions.   As always, we expect surprises and we’re definitely out to have some fun!  Can you ask a question that we can’t answer?

Bring your curiosity, your musings and your black holes.  Join TR23 and ABC Master Technologist Patrick Sproule, and special guest chump Alex Agaciak from 2SWR, along with irregular chumps: Stephen Wilkinson and moderator John Maizels.

We’re doing the show live, just like they do on the talkback radio.  Between your questions we’ll riff about techo stuff that interests us, and for good measure we’ll cover some topics pulled from the Technorama Q&A group.

Be ready to join us on the night.

No technical topic will be off limits:  studios, transmitters, antennas, links, remote power,  old hardware, obscure audio devices, building projects, weird networking and how to get your station’s presenters to behave.  These are just some of the areas that we’re ready to have a go at.   Maybe even a non-technical item or two, for good measure.

How do you get involved?

Click here to register – simple and painless!

As usual this one is on Zoom Webinar but we’ll always have the ability to open your your cameras and mic if the question is good enough!

Send your question in advance and beat the rush?

Sure, why not.   Drop a line to [email protected]

Stump the Chumps 2021: Tuesday 7 Dec at 1830 AEDT

Rain, snow, famine, pestilence, and politics couldn’t keep us away, so COVID-19 didn’t stand a chance.   We’re back for 2021 to tackle the questions that are beyond difficult, beyond tough, and seriously beyond ridiculous.  Our ChumpStumpers know no boundaries.

This year we’ve once again assembled the team of experts – chumps who between them might know everything or nothing – and tasked them with answering your questions. There’s no safety net:  you set the level of difficulty.   We’re so confident that our chumps are up for the challenge that we’re not going to put a restriction on the questions.   Above all, we expect this to be surprising and fun!  Can you ask a question that we can’t answer?

On Tuesday 7 December at 1830 AEDT (that bit is important!) bring your curiosity, your musings and your black holes, and join Alastair Reynolds with Stephen Wilkinson,  moderator John Maizels, and our special masked Chump for
