Most of us know Fresh 92.7 as the fun community radio station that plays absolute bangers on Wednesdays but did you know it’s mostly run by volunteers?
From the newsreaders to the producers, Fresh 92.7 has served as a stepping stone for many young media students looking to get a foot in the door and has played a direct role in launching the careers of some pretty big names. Radio hosts Ben and Liam are just one prime example.
If you’re a regular Fresh fan you’ve probably heard of its current affairs program Wavelength. If you’re not familiar, Wavelength is a weekly program that takes a moment to talk about the current happenings around Adelaide. The people, the culture and the events. If it’s making waves in Adelaide, it’s making headlines on Wavelength.
From serious issues to more light-hearted topics (like why was everyone obsessed with man buns for a while?), Wavelength is not only a great way for listeners to keep up to date with what’s happening around our fair city but also serves as an opportunity for aspiring young journalists to get a hand in sourcing and reporting in a news quality news environment because like so many of the pieces of the Fresh puzzle, it’s all run by volunteers.
If you’re sitting there reading this and thinking to yourself “Gee, I’d love to get on the radio talking to people about what matters” then you’re in luck because Fresh 92.7 are currently on the hunt for the next lot of Wavelength superstars.
Listening to the show, it’s almost hard to believe it’s run by volunteers and that’s probably why so many of them go on to have such successful careers. Working on Wavelength is a great addition to the resume as it’s highly regarded in the media world having previously won CBAA Award for Excellence in Spoken Word and the SACBA Award for Best Interview.
With a fun, inclusive workplace environment, Fresh is not just a great place to advance your career but also to make some life-long friends.
