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.

“It's keeping the communities connected, not let them feel depressed or neglected or forgotten. They're not forgotten people, so we have to speak to them in their language”-  Eugene O'Rourke OAM.

Today, we have the privilege of speaking to Eugene O'Rourke, the convener of the Irish Broadcasting Group at 3ZZZ. Eugene's infectious passion for music and culture has been a cornerstone of the Irish community for decades, his journey is a testament to the power of community radio in preserving cultural heritage.

Radio for the Community! Spoken Histories From 3ZZZ is proudly supported by the Community Broadcasting Foundation.
