Are you keen to improve your podcast skills, or have an idea and need help to establish your podcast? Next month we’ll be running our final podcast course for the year on Sunday 11 October, and Sunday 18 October at our studios in Fitzroy, Melbourne. Registrations are now open, but places are limited. 3CR has decades of podcast experience - and we're keen to share! The 2-day (10-hour) course is a great way to learn, to meet fellow podcasters and get the support you need to create great podcasts. Get more information online here.

Fire your brain on a trip to the moon at the Lost in Science annual quiz night fundraiser! Test your knowledge on everything from the mysteries of the cosmos to the wonders of wildlife, while supporting the sharing of science on radio. (Are these question spoilers? You'll have to come to find out.) This astronomically entertaining night is a fundraiser, so entry is $20 per person. Knowledge is power - and in this case, it's for a good cause. Monday 17 August, the quiz starts at 7pm at The Birmingham Hotel, 333 Smith St, Fitzroy. Come early for dinner, bring a team (maximum of 6 please), win prizes AND raise money for science on the radio! Register NOW here!
