It’s Radiothon time again, and this year, the theme is martinis, espionage, car chases, gadgets and anything else from the Bond films that is appropriate in a community radio context — we’re right now seeing what we can do with the sixties misogyny and product placement.

Triple R is virtually without government funding, and we rely on subscriptions to stay alive. The best way to subscribe is to pick up the shoe-phone and call the station on (03) 9388 1027. I’m aware that the shoe-phone is much more ‘Get Smart’ than it is James Bond, and I guess that’s why I’m on this website asking you to support an important Melbourne radio institution, rather than earning the big bucks at Saatchi & Saatchi, where the focus groups would have knocked back ‘shoe-phone’ in an instant.

To subscribe by post, go through the Triple R homepage at www.rrr.org.au
