Bland On Bland – Remote Places
The theme for this week’s JVG Radio Method poem is “Remote Places“. Week 2 of the show and Jon choose another excellent theme for me to play with. I must say I am suspicious, it’s all going far too well. I know that the themes are being selected by Dr Pump at the moment but …
Bland On Bland – Historical Figures
The theme for this week’s JVG Radio Method poem is “Historical Figures“. Just where did the holidays go? And to make it worse according to JVG we had an extra week off. Couldn’t have? Could we? Maybe it was the lack of an actual summer? Maybe it’s the deja vu of finding ourselves back in …
Bland On Bland – Family

Ian Bland and Greg Hunt (Duo)
Melbourne singer/songwriter and poet Ian Bland has gained a loyal following over the past decade for ‘Bland on Bland’, a weekly segment on 3RRR’s ‘The JVG Radio Method’, penning and presenting a poem every Sunday afternoon.
Musically, he has performed with fiddle/mandolin player Greg Hunt for more than twenty years, as a duo and with The Lamington Drive Orchestra, blending a diverse range of musical influences with insightful stories drawn from rural and urban Australia and beyond; topics as diverse as drought and the demise of suburban pubs.
“Bland’s gnarled, world weary voice is unaffected, emotive and genuine, a true voice of Australia. He’s Jack Thompson in ‘Sunday Too Far Away’ and Bill Hunter in ‘Newsfront’; he is also essential listening.”
