Forty Years of 2SER

2SER’s 40th Anniversary Pop Up Archiving Day

On 28th of September, 2019, we held a "Pop Up Archiving Day" as part of 2SER's 40th birthday celebrations. The idea was to invite anyone with 2ser related memorabilia to join us at Studios 301 for an afternoon of nostalgia as we worked to fill gaps in the stations historical archive. Teaching us about his awesome craft was Stephen Crane, Studio 301's chief conservator and international audio legend, as well as telling some excellent stories of literally saving archival tape from shitty situations. This podcast is the conversation in full, hosted by then Station Manager Martin Walters, and station archivist Liz Giuffre asking Stephen the questions. Recorded on Gadigal Land and supported by a City of Sydney Grant and Studios 301, we're releasing this audio as part of our 45th birthday celebrations (where did the time go?!?).

More great prizes - we have always been a station of cyclists (not a joke - we're still giving away bikes in 2022). Thanks for all your support!

Lovely young listener endorsement (we are still interesting, but now we do have a couple of ads). Where are you now?

Listen to the Virgin Megastore and some other wonders of the past give us their best. Sadly, that $250 gift voucher is now worth more in the feels than it is in your pocket, though.

1991 was a time of optimism, change and still no social media record to haunt us. Listen to our new voice and new sound as it was then

Come for the nostalgia, stay for the dodgy but well meaning impersonations. Written and spoken by 2SER (and spoken very very fast).
