AFTRS Students Return to the Sydney Royal Easter Show for Show Radio 2026

AFTRS Show Radio 2025

AFTRS radio and podcasting students are once again taking to the airwaves at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, as Show Radio returns for its 32nd year, broadcasting live daily from Sydney Showground, Olympic Park. 

From Thursday 2 April through to Monday 13 April, students from the Graduate Diploma of Radio and Podcasting (GDRP) will produce six hours of live radio each day, broadcasting from 10am to 4pm via the AFTRS studios. The live audio stream will be available at showradio.aftrs.edu.au and on the iHeartRadio app, with highlights available via the Show Radio podcast on iHeart, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Acast. 

Show Radio is a cornerstone production for AFTRS and one of the GDRP’s most demanding practical experiences, giving students an intensive, real‑world broadcast environment. This year, 14 students are involved, collectively producing more than 72 hours of live radio across the 12‑day Easter Show. 

Remarkably, most participants have been studying the GDRP for just four weeks, making the scale of the production a significant leap into professional radio broadcasting. 

Across the broadcast, listeners can expect lively presenters, hands‑on field reporting from around the Show, interviews with exhibitors and performers, insights into rural life (such as learning the difference between an alpaca and a llama), and a strong selection of country music. Alongside the live show, students are also creating digital stories, social media content and podcasts, extending the reach of the broadcast well beyond the Showgrounds.

GDRP Convenor Natalie Pozdeev says Show Radio is an unmatched learning experience for emerging broadcasters. 

“Show Radio throws our students straight into the deep end, in the best possible way,” Pozdeev said. 

“They are producing and presenting live radio in a high‑profile public setting, with real audiences, real stakes and real deadlines – and most of them have only been studying radio for a month. 

“Over the 12 days, every student rotates through presenting, producing, panel operating, field reporting and digital production. It’s an incredibly intense experience, but by the end of the Show, the growth in confidence, teamwork and broadcast skills is extraordinary.” 

Show Radio has been part of AFTRS training for over three decades, offering students a unique opportunity to work in a fast‑paced, professional broadcast environment while engaging directly with one of Australia’s largest annual public events. 

Listeners can tune in live daily from 10am to 4pm, catch up on highlights via the Show Radio podcast, read student stories on the Show Radio webpage, and follow along on Instagram and Facebook throughout the Easter Show.

THIS ISN’T AN APRIL FOOLS PRANK: LiSTNR BRINGS BACK THE INSPIRED UNEMPLOYED PODCAST AFTER TWO-YEAR HIATUS

Australia’s much loved comedy duo and social media superstars, The Inspired Unemployed are returning with a new season of their podcast after a two-year hiatus. Fittingly launching on April Fools’ Day, Wednesday, 1 April, LiSTNR has reunited best mates Jack Steele and Matt ‘Falcon’ Ford behind the mic to kick off a new era, complete with their trademark spontaneity and exuberance.

Since launching The Inspired Unemployed in 2019, the tradie-turned-podcasters have built a loyal global audience by combining self-deprecating humour and sharp satirical takes on everyday Aussie life. Across Instagram and TikTok, the duo has amassed more than 4.2 million followers, alongside major brand partnerships across fashion, travel, alcohol, fragrances, and hit television shows.

The duo launch the podcast with a catch-up on their last two years, featuring guest appearances from beloved entertainer Hamish Blake (Hamish & Andy), Triple M’s Jack ‘Jarch’ Archdale (Triple M’s Lu & Jarch), content creator Will Gibb, and the return of long-time producer Sarah-Jane Adams (Big Small Talk).

Listeners can also look forward to the return of their fan-favourite ‘rattled’ segment, where Jack and Falcon share stories that have permanently scarred them (think: pocket-dialling your ex and leaving a three-minute voicemail, or nude modelling at a Bachelorette party). With a knack for turning everyday chaos into unforgettable comedic moments, the duo bring their carefree spirit, hilarious stories, and unquestionably questionable life advice to LiSTNR. 

Matt ‘Falcon’ Ford, creator and co-host, said: “We always said we’d come back and we’re men of our word. We’ve dusted off the old podcast and fired the engines back up. Now we’re hitting refresh with an incredible team at LiSTNR, and we’re bloody excited to be back with our community.”

Jack Steele, creator and co-host, said: “We’ve listened to our Instagram comment section – notoriously a good idea – and finally brought the pod back. Over the past two years we’ve embraced the unexpected, and we’re going to catch everyone up on our ridiculous adventures. LiSTNR always looked like a great home that was well-furnished… and the couches looked comfy, so of course, we had to come sit on them.”

Sam Cavanagh, Head of Content – LiSTNR Original Podcasts, said: “Jack and Falcon have built one of the most loyal and engaged audiences in the country. They are a perfect fit for LiSTNR, and we’re thrilled to bring their podcast to the platform.”

The Inspired Unemployed podcast will also give its deeply loyal fanbase a new way to engage, with full video episodes available on YouTube, so fans never miss a moment.

Bringing their signature humour, chaos and authenticity to an even wider audience, Steele and Falcon are officially back, bigger and better than ever, with the partnership also unlocking new commercial opportunities through LiSTNR’s world-class AdTech Hub and advanced technology.

The Inspired Unemployed podcast launches today, April 1, with a new episode published every Wednesday on the free LiSTNR app.

LiSTNR Continues to Evolve, Driving Innovation and New Opportunities in Digital Audio

Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) is celebrating the ongoing evolution of LiSTNR, Australia’s leading digital audio ecosystem, as the platform continues to expand its position in the market while enhancing the capabilities of the LiSTNR AdTech Hub.

As digital audio consumption continues to  grow, LiSTNR is introducing new advancements across data, technology and content, giving  brands more effective ways to connect with audiences. The AdTech Hub continues to help advertisers personalise and optimise campaigns at scale, and is entering its next phase with Precision+, a world-first AI-powered innovation. Built on first-party data, Precision+ delivers deeper audience intelligence, real-time optimisation, and smarter digital audio strategies. 

Five years since launch, and with the LiSTNR AdTech Hub entering its second year, these developments build on LiSTNR’s strong growth and ongoing investment in innovation, reinforcing its position at the forefront of Australia’s digital audio landscape.

LiSTNR has grown from a streaming platform into a fully integrated audio ecosystem spanning live radio, podcasts, music, news, sport, and entertainment. With more than 2.5 million signed-in users and the LiSTNR total audience network (radio streaming, podcasting and music consumption both on and off platform) reaching an estimated ten million Australians each month, LiSTNR continues to redefine how audiences listen and how brands connect in the digital audio era.

SCA has long been at the forefront of Australian podcasting, as one of first major media organisations to recognise the potential in the medium, committing significant investment into co-creation with partnerships with some of Australia’s biggest names.

SCA’s early investment in podcasting, original content, and creator partnerships has enabled LiSTNR to lead audience growth, premium content, and advanced monetisation capabilities. The platform now hosts trusted voices across original and partner titles, including Hamish & AndyHowie GamesThe ImperfectsHappy Hour with Lucy & Nikki, and new additions like Life Uncut and The Inspired Unemployed, alongside premium broadcast simulcasts of live sports and exclusive digital-first formats. Anchored in an ‘audience first’ strategy, LiSTNR continues to break new ground as a market-leading brand, with investment in developing emerging creators, new formats and strategic international partnerships including collaborations with SiriusXM and Audacy. 

John Kelly, Southern Cross Media Group’s Interim CEO said: “We’ve seen LiSTNR grow from an ambitious idea into a market-leading digital audio platform. Our early investment in premium content, technology and data is paying off, and the success reflects the strength of that strategy and team. What sets LiSTNR apart is that it is owned by Australians and built for Australians, giving us the ability to continuously evolve our technology roadmap, respond to audience behaviour, and deliver solutions tailored to our business partners – capabilities not possible for platforms without full local ownership and control. Every innovation, from new audio formats to advanced AdTech and influencer solutions, is designed to serve audiences and give brands smarter, more effective ways to connect.”

Two years ago, in March 2024, SCA launched the award-winning LiSTNR AdTech hub, transforming digital audio advertising in Australia. Built within LiSTNR’s fully owned ecosystem and powered by its highly engaged audience of 2.5 million signed in users, the AdTech Hub delivers advanced campaign management, measurement and cross-channel optimisation.

The LiSTNR AdTech Hub enables expanded Dynamic Creative Optimisation (DCO), leveraging first party and advertiser data matching through privacy-first clean room solutions. As Australia’s only fully owned audio streaming technology roadmap, it drives innovation tailored to local agencies. The evolution continues with Precision+.

LiSTNR is also expanding its influence through the Influencer Extender powered by Fabulate, reflecting the natural evolution of audio as the original influencer medium. As the only media in market with a unified TV and audio solution that also offers a social extension on campaigns bought across broadcast channels, SCA is redefining how campaigns reach and engage audiences at scale. Audio has always shaped audiences, from radio to streaming to podcasting, and the Influencer Extender integrates audio, social, and PR into holistic campaigns, combining SCA talent with Fabulate’s AI-powered data driven platform to identify and activate relevant creators at scale. Brands can now engage entire communities, amplifying campaigns through over a million potential micro-influencers beyond traditional audio audiences.

One of the most significant areas of evolution in podcasting is the integration of video formats. LiSTNR has been testing video with multiple podcast creators, recognising that audiences engage differently depending on the medium. Video allows for visual storytelling and incremental reach, complementing audio, which remains the ultimate companion medium. In recent tests, campaigns combining host-read ads with video content delivered over 4,300 incremental organic reach across multiple platforms, highlighting the power of cross-platform strategies. LiSTNR’s approach is fully platform-agnostic, allowing audiences to choose how they want to consume their favourite podcasts, while providing brands with clear measurement and reach across both audio and video formats.

Olly Newton, Executive Head for LiSTNR Commercial said: “LiSTNR has revolutionised the way digital audio advertising campaigns are planned, optimised and delivered, and SCA continues to lead the market with both content and advertising technology capabilities. As we look ahead, LiSTNR’s expansion into multi-format audio, video, creator-led content and influencer collaborations signals our next phase of growth, extending beyond audio to connect with audiences wherever they are, in the formats that suit them best.”

Vale Bernie Lynch

We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bernie Lynch, songwriter and founder of legendary pop group, Eurogliders

Lynch was a pivotal figure in Australian music, best known as the creative force behind the Perth band which he founded in 1980. A gifted songwriter, guitarist and performer, he wrote all of the band’s biggest songs, including the enduring hit “Heaven (Must Be There)”, which became one of the most recognisable pop songs of the era. He joined APRA as a member in 1981. 

Formed after earlier projects including The Stockings and Living Single, Eurogliders came together when Lynch recruited vocalist Grace Knight, who had recently moved to Perth from the UK. The band enjoyed significant national and international success, with “Heaven (Must Be There)” peaking at number two on the Australian charts in 1984 and later reaching the US Billboard charts. Other hits included “Can’t Wait to See You” and “We Will Together”. 

Eurogliders initially disbanded at the end of the ’80s, but reunited several times in the decades that followed, releasing new music and touring intermittently. Their most recent album, The Blue Kiss Project, was released in 2021 and the band continued performing until late 2025. 

Dean OrmstonCEO of APRA AMCOS, says: “Bernie was a hugely important songwriter whose work helped define Australian pop music in the 1980s. His songs continue to resonate decades later and his contribution to our cultural landscape is undeniable. Our thoughts are with Bernie’s family, friends and fellow musicians at this time.”

Harmony Week highlights community broadcasting’s role strengthening social cohesion

Harmony Week (16–22 March) is a reminder of the important role community radio and TV plays in reflecting Australia’s cultural diversity, with stations across the country broadcasting local media content in more than 100 languages each week.

Community broadcasters deeply understand and engage the community in creating local media content that reflects, amplifies the diverse cultures, beliefs and languages of Australia.

Multicultural community broadcasting enriches our communities and nurtures a strong sense of belonging among all communities.

Community broadcasters produce 500 radio and two TV services across Australia to an audience of 5.4 million weekly listeners. These services carry thousands of hours of community language programming, connecting diaspora communities, supporting new migrants, and providing local content for audiences often underserved by mainstream media.

Dedicated multicultural community stations operate in major cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra, while many general community stations also provide language and cultural programs for their local communities. Some faith-based broadcasters and an emerging digital-only service also contribute to the sector’s impact.

Community radio’s contribution is reflected in audience data, with more than 1.5 million culturally and linguistically diverse Australians listening to community radio each week, spending an average of more than 15 hours per week with the service.

CBAA CEO Jon Bisset said community broadcasting continues to play a central role in supporting multiculturalism and social connection across Australia.

“Community broadcasting plays a vital role in strengthening multiculturalism in Australia. Every week, community radio stations broadcast in more than 100 languages and produce thousands of hours of community language programs covering   local news and information, arts and culture, local events which helps all Australians stay connected to community and each other. By amplifying diverse voices every day, community broadcasters make sure Australia’s media reflects the full richness of the people who live here.”

Chad Phillips, Membership and Engagement Coordinator, from the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasting Council said“Multicultural broadcasting is vital because it empowers Australian broadcasters and content creators from CALD and multicultural backgrounds to share their languages, cultures, and stories, enriching the Australian media landscape while strengthening social cohesion and ensuring diverse communities have a strong and representative voice.”

Amplifying diverse voices is a key priority in Roadmap 2033, the sector’s ten-year plan to ensure community broadcasting remains accessible, inclusive and representative of modern Australia.

Across the sector, around 18,000 volunteers remain central to broadcasting, programs that reflect the languages, cultures and experiences of their communities. Stations continue to welcome new participants, with opportunities for people of all backgrounds to get involved both on air and behind the scenes.

triple j rides Hottest 100 high to strong GfK Survey 1 result

triple j has started the year with strong momentum, delivering a standout result in GfK Survey 1 as audiences tuned in for the Hottest 100 and a summer of big moments for Australian music.

In survey 1 the network reached 2.123 million listeners each week, up 20% since the last survey and 9.1% year-on-year, with share increasing across every metro market.

triple j’s performance includes another powerful Hottest 100, which once again demonstrated its ability to be a huge cultural event. 2.1 million votes were submitted this year and there were 3.44 million total stream starts across the entire Hottest Weekend (Saturday & Sunday) and 45M+ views of our content across the Hottest Weekend.

triple j’s Hottest 100 continued to resonate most strongly with young Australians, with 18–29-year-olds the largest voting demographic, and around one-third of all Australians engaging with the countdown across the weekend. 

Australian music was front and centre in this year’s countdown which saw an 86% increase in Australian entries compared to the Hottest 100 of 2024, with 54 Australian artists featured in the list and 113 Australian tracks across the full Hottest 200. The introduction of a dedicated Australian artist voting tab made it easier than ever for audiences to discover and back local acts.

Head of triple j & Double J Lachlan Macara said, “What’s most encouraging is the level of support we’re seeing for Australian music at the moment. From Unearthed artists making their Hottest 100 debut to a significant lift in Australian tracks across the countdown, our audiences are clearly backing local artists in a meaningful way. The Hottest 100 continues to be one of the biggest platforms for Australian music in the country, and it’s great to see that support reflected in both engagement and listening.”

triple j is again calling on audiences in regional Australia, with submissions now open for the next One Night Stand. Following its triumphant return, audiences are being invited to pitch why their town should host the iconic all-ages live music event.

From discovery to the country’s biggest music countdown, triple j continues to shape the national music conversation. The strength of this result underscores the Hottest 100’s enduring cultural relevance and triple j’s ability to bring audiences together around Australian music, year after year.

SCA’S COMBINED NETWORKS WIDEN THE GAP BETWEEN COMPETITORS – DOMINATING THE ‘AUDIENCE THAT MATTERS’

Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) has kicked off 2026 extending its lead in the ‘Audience That Matters’, the key 25-54 demographic, signalling strong momentum in the first GfK survey of the year.* Driven by live, local, and consistent lineups, the strength of the Triple M and Hit Networks continue to deliver dominant results nationally.

When combined with ACE Radio, SCA’s commercial share of the 25-54 demographic sits at 37.6%, a massive 9.3 points ahead of the next commercial competitor.

With a 5.1% increase in SCA’s total reach (P10+) – now informing and entertaining 9,095,700 listeners nationally** – SCA further flexes its strength as a network achieving ‘the trifecta’ in the ‘Audience That Matters’:

  • All People 25–54: SCA network wins – 37th consecutive survey.
  • Men 25–54: Triple M dominates – 25th consecutive survey.
  • Women 25–54: The Hit Network secures the key demo across metro markets.

The Hit Network have started the year strongly, with audience growth across all metro Breakfast shows and achieving key demographic wins. The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick achieved the biggest audience growth in the Melbourne radio market (up 82,000 to 611,000 listeners). The F25-54 demographic was won around the country by Fifi, Fev & NickB105’s Stav, Abby & Matt,and SAFM’s Bel, Bernie & EmmaG. The Hit Network’s lineup was further strengthened by the success of Carrie & Tommy in Drive, which secured the Number 1 spot in Brisbane (14.8%) and grew share in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

After a stellar 2025, Triple M continues to set the pace, claiming the Number 1 spot in Brisbane (13.1%) and Adelaide (12.5%). Brisbane’s Marto, Margaux & Dan (14.0%)maintained their leadership in a competitive market, while Triple M Adelaide’s Roo, Ditz & Loz (14.4%)continue to dominate, winning 26 of the last 27 surveys.^ Triple M Melbourne has kicked off the year with its second-highest Survey 1 audience ever (782,000 listeners).

In Sydney, SCA’s investment in a live and local strategy for Triple M and 2DayFM is paying off. Now Sydney’s longest-running Breakfast team, Triple M’s Beau, Cat & Woodsy are seeing rewards for their hard work, rising to a 5.0% share (up 1 point) with an additional 62,000 listeners (up to 356,000) choosing Triple M to start their day. 2DayFM grew by 54,000 listeners to achieve an audience of 742,000, while in Breakfast Nath & Emma’s natural chemistry is resonating across Sydney’s suburbs (growing audience by 14,000, rising 0.7 share points). 

Matthew O’Reilly, SCA’s Head of Broadcast Content said: “New year, new momentum. This is a great start for SCA, with our live, local and consistent approach paying off. Both the Hit and Triple M networks are performing strongly across the country, with the Hit Network securing audience growth in all breakfast shows throughout Australia and pleasing results for Carrie & Tommy in Drive. Triple M’s leadership in Brisbane and Adelaide highlights the strength of our brands, which drive our dominance in the audience that matters.

“It’s also encouraging to see the hard work and investment from our Sydney teams starting to translate into results on 2DayFM and Triple M. Huge credit to Nath & Emma and Beau, Cat & Woodsy – we’re building strong foundations, and there’s plenty more to come. Congratulations to SCA’s content teams around the country.”

John Kelly, Southern Cross Media Group’s Interim Chief Executive Officer – TV & Audio, added: “Today’s results highlight the power of our combined networks, with SCA and ACE delivering a massive 37.6% commercial share amongst the Audience That Matters, 9.3 share points above our nearest competitor. Our live and local approach, combined with consistency across all our shows around the country, is driving results for our audience and brands. SCA remains unmatched in its ability to reach the Audience That Matters, and when combined with the scale of Seven West Media, Southern Cross Media Group offers advertisers a truly unrivalled platform to connect with audiences at scale.”
