Deadly Sounds was a weekly one-hour First Nations Australian radio program hosted by journalist, actor and author Rhoda Roberts.
The program ran for 21 years and in this 1993 clip from the first episode, Roberts emphasises that the show is centred around 'our music, made by our people'.
Home of the Deadly Sounds National Indigenous Music Chart, both emerging and established First Nations musicians were heard on some 200 stations from which the show was broadcast.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
