Reading Radio

“Over 40 Years in the Making”

Reading Radio is OUTSIDE — finally! Woo Hoo!

Brisbane, we’ve done it. After 48 years, we’ve packed up the studio, grabbed the mics, and are stepping boldly into the neon lights for our very first Outside Broadcast.

We’re LIVE from the 2026 Link Vision Community Inclusion Expo at The Royal on the Park Hotel, right here in the Brisbane C*D.

From 3 pm on Saturday, October 10th, we’ll be ‘Live’ with interviews, news, giveaways, and getting in amongst the action for our very first Outside Broadcast.

Come meet the crew, snap a photo, and be part of Reading Radio history, as we celebrate community voices, inclusion, and the fact that — yes — after nearly half a century… we can leave the building.❤️


Huge thanks to the Community Broadcasting Foundation and Kedron Wavell Services Club for their support.

🗣️ Lots to Chat About with Rosemary Peterswald 🗣️

Tune in this Wednesday to hear from Terry O’Neil, the organiser of the Blind Australian of the Year Gala 2026!

Today is the Braille Literacy Challenge.

More than 60 young people are coming together today to celebrate braille literacy, put their skills to the test and connect with other young braille readers.

For many, the Challenge is a highlight of the year. It’s a day of achievement, friendship and confidence - and an opportunity to celebrate something that will matter throughout their lives: the ability to read and write in braille.

But opportunities like this don’t happen without support.

Will you help us support the next generation of braille readers?
