This week, we're going global with Radio Ghana presenter, Ebenezer Banful, who has been on the air at 2XX for 19 years, and Vesna Cvjeticanin, who, for 8 years, presented Serbia in My Heart.&nbsp;

To mark 2XX’s 50th anniversary year, we’ve invited the people who have powered 2XX’s journey across 5 decades to join us on-air. Their stories trace the highs, lows, dramas and great times.

Plus, newly digitised archival recordings help chart the musical, political, social and cultural changes in Canberra and Australia since 1976.

If you were there, don’t be square. If you weren’t, you’d wish you had been!
