Addison Roadshow (radio show) - about us

The Addison Roadshow is broadcast on Radio Skid Row (88.9fm) every Wednesday from 10 to 11 in the morning. The show is hosted by Addison Road Centre General Manager Ian Laird who brings years of experience as a community broadcaster to the program.

The program is devoted to the work of all the people at the Addison Road Centre - the artists, environmentalists, community workers, child care people and people devoted to cultural activities.

The program started in June 2006 and has featured interviews with many of the individuals and organisations at the Centre. More recently Ian has broadened the scope of the program to include people outside the Centre who are actively involved in the community - people from environmental, community and other service providing organisations.

Each week Ian has a guest on the program to talk about their work and their life. Artists come in to the studio to talk about their work especially new exhibitions, people from the environmental and child care organisations talk about their activities, programs and events. Talking about a specific show or exhibition coming up or a new initiative is a good reason for coming on the show. Guests are encouraged to bring in some favourite music to play during the program.

The Centre is very grateful for the support of Radio Skid Row in the production of the Addison Roadshow program.
