As our regular broadcasters take a break over summer, we welcome a ripple of new voices (as well as some old favourites!) to the Triple R airwaves as they educate, entertain and excite. Feast your ears on everything from comedy, sport, chickens and love chats, plus plenty of new music shows as well. Get to know our Summer Programs below!

TUESDAYS

1800ClimateEmergency with Teneille Clerke and Tobias Manderson-Galvin
7-8pm, 26 December - 9 January
At 1800-Climate-Emergency we understand that everyone’s experience of impending doom is different. We are here to listen to your concerns and tailor a personalised climate action plan for your personal needs/fears.

Our live HOTline is open to those experiencing climate distress - due to the increasingly alarming state of the world - to offer guidance on how to take action and prepare for the disastrous 6th Great Exctinction. How many cans of peaches will you need? Trackies will be fine, right? Should we pack Settlers of Catan?

Join Teneille Clerke, Tobias Manderson-Galvin, and guests as they broadcast live from an apocalypse bunker under the RRR studios, to take your calls.

Connecting with others, talking about your worries, and having your fears - no matter how big or small - heard by thousands of listeners over the airwaves - goes a long way towards easing climate distress. Call us now!

Paddock to Plate with Alice Mathieu

Paddock To Plate looks at how food is grown, processed and made available to consumers. The food industry is a complex and broad-ranging global system that includes agriculture, manufacturing, food processing, marketing, logistics, retail, regulation, and research and development. It faces the challenge of providing sufficient food to a global population that is predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050, amidst limited land, water and energy resources. The current food system has thus emerged as a critical issue, as it impacts environmental, community, and economic sustainability, human rights, policy and health. Paddock To Plate tackles current problems and unpacks future directions for the food industry.
