Description Ziggy Blasco is a talk-back host whose power rests in his influence. He fills Sydney's airwaves with his appeals to common-sense, his hard line with terrorists and his lashings at political correctness. But in the private sphere Ziggy's influence is fading away. He can barely maintain a conversation with his glamorous young wife. His daughter swings between truancy and dabbling on the stockmarket - with his money. His sister despises all that he stands for and while Ziggy preaches to the metropolis that there is no such thing as the working poor.
