People Powered Radio
Fifty Years of Australian Community Radio Station 4zzz
For fifty years, 4ZZZ has been more than just a broadcaster - it's been a movement, a megaphone, and a meeting place for radicals, musicians, punks and radio nerds alike. People Powered Radio captures the oral and archival histories of one of Australia's oldest and most unique community radio stations. From the station's subversive roots in the 1970s to its present-day digital renaissance, this rich and deeply researched book documents the lasting contributions made by 4ZZZ; promoting independent music, producing alternative news and fostering authentic community collaborations. People Powered Radio is not just a story about radio. It's an insider's perspective on what happens when people build something together and refuse to let it go. It's a celebration of everything that 4ZZZ has offered over the last half a century and what the future might hold for the station.
Heather Anderson has volunteered with 4ZZZ since the early 1990s, both on-air as a journalist and announcer and behind the scenes, assisting with training and policy development and serving on the Board of Directors. She is also an Associate Professor with the School of Humanities, Languages and Social Science, Griffith University, in Brisbane, Australia whose research focuses on alternative and community media.
