Editor’s Note
The world of community radio is near and dear to my heart. It’s a pillar of our music industry – free from commercial pressures and with hosts who pack astounding musical knowledge, you won’t find programming that comes close to that of community radio elsewhere. This little lovefest takes us to the heart of our cover story – PBS’s Radio Festival. Standing as a pillar of Melbourne’s music scene for nearly 40 years, PBS has well and truly earned its place. To ensure they can continue their vital role, they need the help of people like you and I. We need to keep institutions like PBS going forever and ever.
That’s not everything though. We also hear from Even’s Ashley Naylor about the band’s new album (and we’ve got a cheeky poster for you to tack up on your wall to celebrate its release), we pick out some of Melbourne’s best burger spots to warm you up from the inside, we also chat to the fabulous Iron & Wine and Radnor & Lee ahead of both their Melbourne visits. That should keep you going through at least a couple of cold evenings. I didn’t want to end things talking about the weather, but here we are.
