Radio lecture at QUT

Here is a presentation that I gave to QUT students in the Media and Communications Industries unit on 27 August 2008.

In considering notable things about Australian radio, some that came to my attention have been:

• the growth of community radio, to generate one of the most vibrant systems of this media form in the world
• the unique power and influence of talkback radio hosts (which may now be waning)
  
• the way that podcasting has given a new prominence to Radio National and to forms of programming that have never been high rating but which can be done well through the medium, such as documentaries
  

One thing that I would be interested to know is what percentage of total radio downloads are from the ABC generally, and Radio National in particular. If anyone knows how to find this out, please drop me a comment.
