For NAIDOC Week 2018, USQ and Phoenix Radio have brought together four strong young Aboriginal women to create a radio show and podcast around this year's theme "Because of Her, We Can".
Who are The LATE Crew? Lelani, Asha, Tamika and Emily (LATE) are all high school students from Ipswich, Springfield and Laidley. They spent four afternoons at USQ learning all about radio from the likes of Spencer Howson (USQ/ABC), Clay Cassar-Daley (98.9 The Best Country) and Molly Hunt (ABC Kimberley). Then they set to work constructing their debut radio show and podcast.
Topics discussed by The LATE Crew and their special guests Shellie Morris, Boneta-Marie Mabo and Molly Hunt include: racism and stereotypes, mental illness, strong women and preserving cultures and languages.
For copyright reasons, this podcast doesn't contain all the music from the original radio show. The LATE Crew also featured Beyoncé "Rule the World", Baker Boy "Cloud 9", Troy Cassar-Daley "Good Things in Life", The Sapphires "Ngarra Burra Ferra" and Ernie Dingo "Listen to the News".
