Now live! The CBAA National Features and Documentary Series 2019
Now available to listen online and broadcasting on Australian community radio stations is the sixth instalment of CBAA’s National Features and Documentary Series, an annual showcase of new work by Australian community radio producers.
With training and mentoring provided by the Community Media Training Organisation (CMTO) eight producers based at community stations coast to coast, city to bush turned their idea into an original half-hour feature for a national audience throughout 2019.
“When I first heard that my story was selected to be a part of the National Features and Documentary Series 2019, I was over the moon and went back to the drawing board”, exclaimed Bernard Namok Junior, producer of Let it Fly: The Namok’s Legacy.
Through these eight new features, hear community stories of cultural legacy, Indigenous voices on drought and water management, a women’s place in a traditional country association, descriptors of Australia’s stunning landscape from the ocean to the desert, first-hand accounts of life with a disability and so much more.
