Community Radio: Our National Sound Community Radio: Our National Sound: A new podcast series featuring Australian musicians reflecting on the important role community radio has played in their careers and creative journeys.
The series features conversations with Sarah Blasko, DOBBY, Mo’Ju, L-FRESH The LION, Bad//Dreems, Body Type and Annie Hamilton, highlighting the unique relationship between Australian artists and community broadcasters.
L-FRESH The LION said community radio delivered direct audience outcomes for emerging artists, “if we went and did a live performance on air at a community radio station the day before the show, we were selling a minimum of 20 to 30 tickets the next night. And that’s huge when you’re trying to break into new spaces,” he said.
“I’ve had almost no commercial airplay. So my whole career has been built on community radio and ABC stations,” said Sarah Blasko.
