Doing your first Radiothon show is a pretty unique – and potentially nerve-wracking – experience. Asking folks to subscribe, waiting to see if anyone subscribes to your show… It’s all pretty full-on. Which is why it’s extra-nice to see folks supporting all the amazing volunteer broadcasters who have joined the grid this year. Take a breath – there are a few.

Neil Morris with Still Here – Sundays 1pm to 2pm

Indigenous peoples have been subject to a torrent of attempted eradication in extensive ways over the course of history since colonisation. Yet, Indigenous peoples are Still Here, still finding ways to survive and thrive. Song has remained one way that Indigenous people have resisted, restored, and remained, following on from 60,000 plus years of culture, deeply imbued in song and story. Still Here showcases Indigenous song and story both of the now and the past.
