A: Time for the annual Lost in Science trivia night!
Test your knowledge at Melbourne’s best science quiz and help keep community radio on the air or in your pod. This amazing, entertaining, intellectually stimulating night is a station fundraiser, so entry is $20 per person. You can bring cash on the night, or message us via Facebook or on lostinsci@gmail.com for online payment details. Teams are a maximum of six people, so let us know if you want to reserve a table, and we'll make it so! Monday 13 August, Birmingham Hotel, 333 Smith Street, Fitzroy, 6.30pm for a 7.30pm start. Part of National Science Week.

Proudly celebrating 17 years on the airwaves, Beyond the Bars is Australia’s only live prison radio broadcast giving a voice to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander inmates. This year from Monday 9 July to Friday 13 July we return to six prisons around Victoria to bring you the voices of the men and women on the inside during NAIDOC Week 2018.

The Old Bar's very own doorman Matt Gleeson has been doing his radio show Burning Vinyl on Fridays 2pm - 4pm for over 15 years now and June is when he's gotta raise some cash to stay on the airwaves. He's made half of what he needs and hopefully we can get him over the edge with this fundraiser show. Matt is at the Oldie pretty much every night of the year seeing every band that plays there. So he very well may be the person who sees more live music than anyone else in Melbourne. He's seen all your bands and probably played them on his show. Come down and help us keep him on air. This Tuesday 26 June at the Old Bar 74-76 Johnston Street, Fitzroy. Claws and Organs, Bodies, Noughts, and Claire Birchall. 

The world is awash with digital communication, yet there’s never been such a lack of political alternatives. Information is the new commodity and truly alternative visions for justice, equity and sustainability remain elusive. Thankfully, community and alternative media continue to step into the void to fight for community justice, action and alternatives. Despite all that we know about the importance of representation, it is still a revolutionary act to put a mic in the hand of someone denied a voice, and more than four decades later 3CR Community Radio continues to do just that. Fight For Your Mic captures the station’s ongoing commitment to fighting for a better world through the medium of radio, and during our annual Radiothon fundraiser we ask all our supporters to donate so that we can stay radical and independent. Donate now or call the station on 03 9419 8377.
