“It was just so different to anything else that was being displayed as art.”

Signal Boost Participant Miks Everitt tells the story of a painting created by his dad in the 1960s. The painting was done for OPUS, one of the dozens of discotheques that emerged in the late ‘60s that repurposed old or disused venues in and around Melbourne.

Mentoring support provided by James Parkinson.

This piece was produced as part of our 2021-2022 Signal Boost feature series, where participants responded to the theme of ‘Waves’.

The Signal Boost Program aims to elevate new voices and new ideas in Australian podcasting. It is a tailored mentorship program where participants are given the tools and equipment to realise their audio goals and learn from some of Australia’s leading podcast and radio industry professionals. 

The Signal Boost Podcast is presented by the Wheeler Centre and made possible by the generous support of the Ian Potter Foundation.
