Crudo wine sales

It's our fortieth birthday and winemaker and 3CR supporter Luke Lambert is helping us out by providing us with wine for a special fundraiser to commemorate. We are selling this wine via telephone, mail or internet order only, and it will be available for collection from 3CR from 15 November to 23 December 2016.

Communication Mixdown

This Thursday 17 November, 6-6.30pm, 3CR's newest program Communication Mixdown casts a critical eye on the myriad ways in which we communicate with each other in our increasingly interconnected, multi-media platform world. Each week Jennifer Martin and John Langer will mix down the who, the what, the where, and the how of particular communication events, messages, trends and technologies, and then consider: what impacts and what consequences?

3CR t-shirt

We have more t-shirts in stock! This is a special short run 3CR birthday t-shirt, created to celebrate 40 years of Radical Radio designed by Emily Floyd. For those people who missed out on our first run, there are a bunch more available from our online shop, or drop in to our 21 Smith Street, Fitzroy, studios and say hi and buy one during business hours. Get in quick!

Open Day 2016

THIS Sunday 9 October from 12-4pm the station opens up its doors to the community and invites you to come in and celebrate 40 years of radical radio. Join us for an awesome afternoon tea, roving musicians, special on-air broadcasts and the opportunity to step into the studio and get behind the mic. Face painting for the kids, stalls, rolling station tours and the launch of the 3CR 40th birthday t-shirt. There'll be something for everyone! Getting to the station is easy, but parking around 21 Smith Street, Fitzroy, is very difficult and we strongly recommend that you walk, cycle or catch public transport to the day. See you there!

Live Studio guests, interviews with activists from different fields, book art and film reviews and feminist rant of the week!
