Radio for the Community! Spoken Histories From 3ZZZ highlights the impact that 3ZZZ broadcasters have made to their communities, increasing diversity in community media, benefits of multiculturalism, sacrifices made by new migrants in Australia, and benefits of volunteering in community radio.

“You need someone to start you off, otherwise it’s very hard” - Jacob Haweil.

The Assyrian program is a tribute to more than three decades of devoted service to the diverse airwaves of Melbourne. This week we are joined by Jacob Haweil, a steadfast figure at 3ZZZ community Radio, who has led this program for over two decades. He recalls his journey, which spans continents, languages, and professions, to preserve the Assyrian culture in Australia.
