The music dork rocks blog

www.rrr.org.au is currently in Radiothon Mode Between and looking for people to donate money and become a station subscriber, Triple R one of Melbournes few metro independent radio stations that play a lot of music that would go unlistened to and offers a platform for people in a minority to voice their views, opinions and discovery of Scholarly pursuits.

8 years ago, I received an opportunity to train and learn how to become a 3rrrfm presenter. I learned a lot from those weeks of training that I didn’t already know from my time at 98.9NorthWest Fm in the 90s.

I put together my 15 minute demo to the station manager and I think it was a couple of months before I received an evaluation on my demo. I had passed.
