For the third time this year, AFTRS Graduate Diploma of Radio and Podcasting students are taking to the airwaves with a pop-up broadcast. From Monday 2 September to Friday 14 September,\u00a0AFTRS FM<\/a>\u00a0will tackle the issues that impact students \u2013 like cost-of-living, social media, pop culture, and more.<\/p>\n

Following the 30th<\/sup>\u00a0year of\u00a0Show Radio<\/a>\u00a0in April, and regional broadcast\u00a02NRS<\/a>\u00a0in June, AFTRS FM will see students produce and package a daily 30-minute factual talk broadcast, with support from guest air checkers, mentors and coaches from across the industry including Greg Byrnes from 9 Entertainment, Fiona Ellis Jones and Naomi Lynch from ARN, and Rob Mailer and Jodie Gunders from the ABC.<\/p>\n

AFTRS FM will stream live on\u00a0iHeart<\/a>\u00a0weekdays from 3pm, and appear as an on-demand podcast, from Monday 2 September to Friday 14 September, with \u2018best ofs\u2019 airing Saturday 7 and 15 September from 7am to 7:30am. Students will also publish stories online and across social media channels.<\/p>\n

AFTRS Discipline Lead, Radio and Podcasting, Andrea Ho says, \u201cSo much great audio comes from generating ideas and landing talent, and working to deadline. AFTRS FM sets the students a real workout with all of these skills, while they give voice to issues that matter to them and the broader audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Head of Content, Nine Radio and AFTRS alum Greg Byrnes will support the students with airchecks. Greg says, \u201cAll broadcasters feed off adrenaline when the mic goes live. There\u2019s nothing like it and when AFTRS FM launches this week students will be experiencing that buzz, some for the first time. It\u2019s a wonderful opportunity which allows them to put all that theory into real time deadlines. News content is a key programming ingredient and I\u2019m looking forward to working with the class of 2024 on their writing and presentation during this year\u2019s broadcast.<\/p>\n

Graduate Diploma of Radio & Podcasting student Ella Carter says listeners can look forward to a cutting-edge daily talk program, podcast, and online news platform that blends news and current affairs with diverse perspectives, fostering a strong sense of community.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs our third collaborative broadcast of the year, AFTRS FM will showcase the skills we\u2019ve honed through previous coursework. Over the next two weeks, we\u2019ll be crafting audio packages, writing for social media, working as a team, and operating the studio panel at AFTRS. It\u2019s going to be a hectic yet rewarding experience!\u201d Ella says.<\/p>\n

Each unique collaborative broadcast provides us with an epic hands-on experience that not only boosts our skills in radio, but our individual confidence. We\u2019re pumped and ready to go!\u201d<\/p>\n
