About the presenters:
Ralph Knight – Ralph has been contributing to 3CR both on air and off for decades. While he started our lending his considerable technical expertise, constructing transmitters and studio building, he became involved presenting on a number of programs including Swing ‘n’ Sway and his own long-running program, Steam Radio.
Tim Harding – Tim Harding is a former leader, arranger and trombonist with the Australian Cotton Club Orchestra. He has recorded four Swing CD albums - three on the Warner label, and one on his own Yandoo label. He has been one of the regular presenters of the Swing ‘n Sway program for over 20 years, selecting from his large collection of jazz and swing recordings which he began as a teenager.
Anita Harris – Melbourne based jazz vocalist Anita Harris has been on the Australian jazz Scene for more than two decades. She has a large repertoire of jazz gems, four albums available on the Newmarket label and some of Melbourne’s finest musicians on hand to work by her side. She joined the Swing ‘n’ Sway team in 2018 to share her love of swing, jazz and Latin and to maybe learn a thing or two.

These are strange and disconcerting times, and 3CR - as always - is focused on community inclusion, participation and cohesion in order to build a better world. We want to hear from you - whether you're a regular listener, programmer, or you've just found us on the AM dial. Send us a voice memo! Share a radical vision for the future, an inspiring thought for the day, information on a current campaign or your personal insight of the day. Send your short (less than 1 minute) voice memo to reception@3cr.org.au and we'll put it on the radio!
3CR has decided to close its doors to volunteers and guests from Monday 23 March as we try to do our part to minimise the spread of the coronavirus throughout the community. At the front of our minds, is protecting the most marginalised and vulnerable. But we are still here. And we’ll continue broadcasting, 24 hours a day, with radical, alternative content throughout this period – but things will sound a bit different. Some programmers will present their shows on the phone, and we’ll be finding creative ways to bring you our regular programming. So stay tuned, stay safe, and be kind to each other.
Diaspora Blues is a new show that provides a platform for people interested in ideas about home, community, and belonging. Hosted by Bigoa and Baasto and produced by Ayan Shirwa. Tune in for the first show, Monday 2 March at 2.30pm, featuring Ruth Nyaruot Ruach speaking about her platform ‘Next in Colour’ and the work they’re doing to create opportunities for artists from the African diaspora. We'll also discuss the challenges of being a third culture kid.
