About Planet Perth

Perth is one of the most isolated cities in the world, so far removed from the rest of the globe, it might as well be its own planet.

From cults, to abandoned theme parks and tank rampages across the CBD, Planet Perth is your guide to the events, personalities and bygone icons that have shaped one of the most isolated cities in the world. Assistant Producer Alice Hartrick. Executive Producer Danielle Raffaele. Theme Music by The Mackerels. Artwork by Olive Coakley. Streaming weekly on iTunes, Spotify and RTRFM.
