Let's Talk is a program worth listening to

With Reconciliation Week this week, we are pleased to announce a new program available on CRN on Monday nights called Let's Talk. As one of the longest running indigenous radio programs having run for nearly 20 years, Let's Talk showcases incredible content for our sector. The CRN version looks back on the best stories of the week from the daily versions of Let's Talk that play on Triple A Murri Country Monday - Friday. 

Founded and hosted by former Triple A CEO and trailblazer Tiga Bayles and with over 2,500 episodes, Let’s Talk has elevated the most prominent First Nations voices in the country. They include: Noel Pearson, Michael Mansell, Gary Foley, Jackie Huggins, Mary Graham, Lilla Watson and so many more. The program has been previously hosted by Indigenous journalist Amy McQuire and Indigenous activist Boe Spearim. It is currently hosted by Gomeroi Journalist Danny Teece-Johnson and broadcasted 5 days a week via a number of platforms including; 98.9FM, National Indigenous Radio Service, livestreamed via the website, and available on demand via podcast. It is considered by many as the leading National program on Indigenous issues and provided a voice for Indigenous people and addressing Indigenous issues across the country.
