Emergency situations reveal the unwavering and unrivalled ability of radio to broadcast up-to-date and localised information.
Coverage of the 2019–2020 bushfires, which features in the Community Broadcast Association of Australia podcast series From the Embers, demonstrates the longevity of radio as 'a trusted friend'.
Usefulness in times of crisis has been a unique feature of radio since its inception, and it continues to provide vital communication in situations where basic infrastructure is compromised.
The podcast also explores how radio gives voice to communities and offers the potential for intimacy and collaboration between broadcaster and audience. Read more about how radio saves lives.
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.
