Episode 5: Voices Carry
<p>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 <em>Who Listens to the Radio? </em>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.</p><p> </p><p><em>Who Listens to the Radio?</em> was produced by <a href="https://www.audiocraft.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Audiocraft</a> for the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia. </p><p> </p><p>Narrated by Patrick McIntyre, with guests Angela Bates, Benjamin Law and Lorna Clarkson, our science correspondent Andy Trieu, and NFSA curator Nick Henderson. </p><p> </p><p>Credits: </p><p>‘Stonewall Day Special 1988’ and ‘Beyond the Bars’ courtesy of 3CR </p><p>‘1985 AIDS Candlelight Vigil Report’ courtesy of 2SER and Greg Reading </p><p>‘Radio Redfern Bicentenary Protest Coverage’ courtesy of Radio Skid Row </p><p>‘Aboriginal Radio in Aboriginal Country’ courtesy of CAAMA and David Batty </p><p>‘Cinesound Review’ courtesy Cinesound Movietone Productions </p><p> </p><p>‘Who Listens to the Radio?’ theme music written by A.

Episode 4: I Just Called to Say I Love You
<p>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 <em>Who Listens to the Radio?</em>, 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. </p><p> </p><p><em>Who Listens to the Radio?</em> was produced by <a href="https://www.audiocraft.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Audiocraft</a> for the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia. </p><p> </p><p>Narrated by Patrick McIntyre, with guests Wendy Harmer, Sally Cockburn, Bonnie Leigh-Dodds, Tom Hogan, our science correspondent Andy Trieu, and our NFSA Curators Chris Arneil and Amy Butterfield. </p><p> </p><p>Credits: </p><p>‘AWA Carnaby Group Advertisement’ courtesy of Amalgamated Wireless Australasia Pty Ltd </p><p>‘Beatles Arrival Essendon Airport 1964’ courtesy of RSN Racing & Sport </p><p>‘Take 40 Australia’ courtesy of Southern Cross Austereo </p><p>‘Martin/Molloy – New National Anthem’ courtesy of Tony Martin and Mick Molloy </p><p> </p><p>‘Who Listens to the Radio?’ theme music written by A.
