Radio gets behind research
In my last post I discussed the importance of charities in the Australian market. A new piece of research on the Australian charity and not-for-profit sector that I have championed within Chaos Media was released this week.

Australian Radio Industry

A slice of Australian culture
The beaches of Australia are synonymous with surfing so it is only fitting that The History Channel is set to premier its new series, Men of Wood & Foam, on December 14. This is the story of the pioneers of the Australian surfboard industry known affectionately as the Brookvale Mafia.
