When we ran a small item yesterday about an under-the-weather 2UE newsreader vomiting or air, we had no idea it would get Crikey Army so worked up. We received a string of emails from readers pleading – and in one case begging – us to run the audio of the now notorious incident. And supply and demand were in perfect synch, because a number of Crikey readers responded to our request to pass on the audio file.

Yesterday, the team in the Crikey bunker crowded around a computer to listen to the broadcast, so we think we should warn you it’s one the more revolting sounds we’ve heard – although the newsreader in question deserves a medal for soldiering on in the face of exteme adverstity. You can hear it for yourself here .
