TRIPLE J
From 6am Monday 8 July, multi-award-winning comedians Steph & Dave are taking over triple j Brekkie all week! Steph Tisdell is a Ydinji woman hailing from Brissie, who you might recognise from hosting duties on The Project, her lols at Good Az Friday, or from MICF where she was named 2019’s Pinder Prize Winner and 2014’s Deadly Funny Winner. Darwin bred Torres Strait Islander man Dave Woodhead got a 2016 Raw Comedy Finalist nod before scoring a gig as a writer on ABC’s Get Krack!n, as well as both writing and acting in ABC’s Black Comedy. Steph & Dave are excited to teach triple j listeners some Aboriginal slang and bring you Thelma Plum’s special Like A Version.
Also, Ngiyampaa Weilwan woman and the 2018 Walkley winner Laura Murphy-Oates kicks off her stint hosting Hack for the month on Monday.
On Tuesday from 9am, Young Australian of the Year Baker Boy will join Linda Marigliano for INSPIRED, where he’ll talk you through his Hottest 100 hit ‘Marryuna’, break down the verses in Language and explore what the song means for his community. Then tune in to Saturday night’s House Party show and get down to a NAIDOC Week special.

DOUBLE J
On Tuesday from 7pm, Double J will be airing Archie Roach’s amazing Byron Bay Bluesfest set on Live at the Wireless, and diving into the story behind Yothu Yindi’s iconic song ‘Treaty’ during the J Files on Thursday 11 July.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
