  • Radio has always been great at bringing people together. But while the earliest programming was designed to get everyone listening over time, radio also created places for communities to hold their own conversations. From the early days of pirate radio to the rise of licensed community broadcasters, community radio has had an invaluable impact on Australian society. In episode five of Who Listens to the Radio? We explore how community radio has served as a pivotal lifeline for minority groups and communities and provided a platform for stories and perspectives that mainstream often overlooks.

  • Talkback has something for everyone. Listeners relish hearing themselves (and people like them) on the radio. Politicians appreciate direct access to voters, while high-profile presenters bask in the attention. However, it wasn't always a radio staple; for years, it was illegal. In Episode Four of Who Listens to the Radio?, radio legends Wendy Harmer and Dr. Sally Cockburn (AKA Dr. Feelgood) delve into talkback's fascinating role – a space for venting, advice, creating connections among friends, lovers, neighbours, and strangers alike – and a vital tool in shaping public discourse.

  • The 1950s witnessed a seismic collision between teenagers and the portable transistor, triggering a youthquake that forever reshaped radio.

Change was relentless. ‘Wired for Sound’ unravels the ascent of FM, the birth of Triple J, and the dawn of community radio, each beat marking a step toward the future.

  • As we emerged from the Great Depression, radio became the heartbeat of the nation. By 1937, a mere 15 years after its official launch in Australia, radio claimed pride of place in two of every three homes. These were the Golden Years, when families gathered to listen to sports, soaps, serials, dramas, and side-splitting comics. The era was short but profoundly influential, creating a generation of stars – many of whom would transition to television – and laying the foundations of our 21st-century media landscape.
