Tonight (sometime between 6:30~10pm Melbourne Time: GMT+11) Adam Spencer - from the radio station JJJ (Australia-wide 'youth, grungy, etc' station, the one that all the cool people listen to :-) - will be playing against Paul Cleary (AUPC) and broadcasting the game. Adam Spencer is a comedian, and host of the morning show on the station - and he always has a "Scrabble Word Of The Day" on his show... JJJ broadcasts over the web as well, so you can listen from anywhere in the world. The game will be played at 6:30, but I'm not sure what time the broadcast will be... - it may be live...
