This is your entertainment update for March 7th. Jamie Dunn, the creator and voice behind the beloved puppet aggro, has passed away at the age of 76. A reliable radio industry source shared the news, but more details are still coming. He first brought aggro to life in 1982, building on his start as a drummer and singer. The character exploded in popularity on morning TV shows like Aggro's Cartoon Connection, which ran for nine seasons through the 80s and 90s. Fans remembered Dunn for the sharp-witted puppet that teamed up with co-hosts on those lively broadcasts. He is survived by his wife Marie and his children, leaving a big mark on Australian entertainment. Later, Dunn took aggro to radio, hosting mornings on Brisbane's B205 until 2005 and juggling roles as both himself and the character. He also launched an adult's only stage tour called Aggro Up Late. Then after trying and missing out on a feature film project, Dunn kept performing, returning

to triple M for Saturday's slot nearly a decade later, with aggro alongside him for over 30 years. Support for this Dean and episode comes from our sponsor. Do not just listen to podcasts, get lost in them comfortably, S-O-L-I-SoliPillow.com.
