A celebration of Eritrean Voices Radio

Monday, 4 May 2020 - 6:00pm to 6:30pm

 

If you regularly listen to this show live, you may be aware that the program that follows us is Eritrean Voices, one of the longer-running radio programs on 3CR. Programmed by volunteers from the Eritrean community, the show is presented in Arabic, Tigrinya, a language spoken by the Tigrinya people of Ethiopia and Eritrea, and English. The programmers of Eritrean Voices recently celebrated their show, which is widely recognised as an essential service in the community, by launching a book about the program at an event in Flemington. I spoke to a number of people about the show there and today present a celebration of Eritrean Voices, which covers political, social, cultural and health issues for the Eritrean community.
