Sound As Ever

Accessibility in the Music Industry
Produced by Rebecca Maakasa and Bridget Bourke

In this episode we explore the barriers that may prevent some music fans from enjoying live music and investigate how these situations will be overcome in the future. The main focus is accessibility as we chat to differently abled music lovers, also featuring The Hackkets, a local band comprised of members with varying access needs. Hopefully by listening to this episode a more acute sense of consciousness about these issues will be brought to the centre of attention.

Genre and Language Blending in Music
Produced by Elsie Bath and Shejuti Hossain

This episode will look at how genre and language blending in music is creating a new wave of music exploration and creative freedom whilst growing and strengthening community bonds and cultural ties. Artists like Baker Boy and The Fifths are mixing the use of language and genre in their music in a fresh new way that seeks to link their personal histories with their current influence and audience. Talking to Broadcaster Namila Benson and Hosts of PBS's All Our Stories, this episode looks at how music in this field is not only influencing the Australian music landscape in terms of creativity, but is having a positive influence over social and political issues.
