S1E1 - Good Morning, Mr Petersen

Riots, protests, police intimidation and an unstoppable group of journalists bent on exposing the rot in Queensland politics.

S1E2 - Billy Bragg and the Deep North

An electric night in a south Brisbane rugby club where a three way friendship formed between a city, a singer and a radio station.

S1E3 - Looking back at the Murri Hour

Warinkil Aunty Glenice Croft and Shellar MB Barney Croft take you through the music, voices and politics from the Murri Hour program they helped establish on 4ZZZ in the 1980s.

S1E4 - How Triple J Stole the Hottest 100 (well... kind of)

Hear the story of how a 4ZZZ listener poll made it's way down the East Coast to a radio station in Sydney, and evolved into a national institution.

S1E5 - Queering the Airwaves for 30 years

For over 30 years people have been tuning in - some driving just within range of the 4ZZZ signal - every Wednesday evening to be part of an accepting community of queer broadcasters.

S1E6 - The Punk Marketplace

A music festival, another riot, and the radio station at the centre of Brisbane's punk attitude.

50 Years Of Zed!

2025 marks the 50th year of broadcasting for 4ZZZ! From our first broadcast on December 8th 1975, we've been connecting and amplifying the voices of our local community. Keep an eye out for our 50th birthday celebrations that will be taking place in later in the year- a smorgasbord of live music, visual art, panel talks and on-air celebrations awaits!

We're also collecting stories from zedders throughout the years- if you were ever a volunteer, announcer, or staff member we want to hear from you.

As we reflect on the last 50 years we're also looking forward to the next 50! If you love what we do, there's never been a better time to show your support by subscribing, donating, and listening to Brisbane's realest radio.
