Add journalist Greg Locke to the list of those who have received The Call from Hisself in which Hisself expresses “disappointment” in what the journalist is up to.

Have any intrepid reporters recorded any of this stuff?
You could do a 30 minute weekly series called “Conversations with the Premier” just on this material alone.
Only different is the title would have a tinge of sarcasm in it.
Maybe not a good idea though.
It’s been done. Used to be on one TV station locally, with another version on radio.
