We may only be a few days into Radiothon, but we've already made a stack of ace memories. From Zero-G's phenomenal costumes to phoneroom funtimes, Radiothon is quite simply the most heart-warming time of year.
To learn more about what inspires our volunteer broadcasters, we thought we'd sit down and ask a few of them why they're so passionate about the Rs.
We were bloody stoked that local legend DJ Peril, founder of 1200 Techniques, wanted to pay tribute to The Ghost in the form of a mural on our garage door. See how this iconic artwork came together on the first day of Radiothon 2019.

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Community Cup on Sunday. It was an awesome day with an awesome vibe – and most awesomely of all… we won! Cop a quiz at these snaps to re-live the glory of the Hertz.

Brisbane-based future-soul artist Tiana Khasi (performing live for Triple R subscribers soon) is proud of her Khasi heritage. The society is stridently matrilineal: the youngest daughter of the family inherits all property; men live in their mother-in-law’s house after marriage; and children take their mother’s surname.
She reckons ‘we’re all a bit fucked up’; her latest album title is inspired by a computer pop-up; and she aspires to have a job helping people to get in touch with their emotions.
Triple R volunteer Kelly Herbison was born on the day The Who released their rock opera Tommy (albeit many years later). With a Who-obsessed father, the music not only provided her with a window to his life, it also provided an entry point into complex social issues.
