Community Access Media Alliance is the national body for the 12 independently-owned Community Access Media stations across Aotearoa. Our vision is for Aotearoa to have a vibrant, diverse, innovative, and sustainable Community Access Media sector valued for its democratic, community, and cultural uniqueness.
Wanting to be a broadcaster, radio host, content-creator, programme-maker, show-maker, or podcaster? Our 12 stations can help you make your own media. On-air or online, radio is a simple and inexpensive way to talk to your community-of-interest in any language.
Whether you’re a government entity, NGO, non-profit, company, or organisation, we can help you tailor your messages to speak directly and authentically to your target audience – in their language.
Now more than ever, local voices need to be heard. We’re building a more inclusive media landscape — one where everyone has access to create, participate, and thrive. But we can’t do it without you.

Your donation can help create a future where media is made by, for, and about the community.

In many churches today we hear the story of a desperate woman. Her daughter is possessed by a demon. I am not sure what that means, I suspect it means different things in different cultures. What I am sure is that it means this is a woman who is desperate beyond words. You may have been there. Crying out to a universe that seems empty. Jesus then left that part of the country and walked the fifty miles to Tyre and Sidon. A woman from Canaan who was living there came to him, pleading, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, King David’s Son! For my daughter has a demon within her, and it torments her constantly.” But Jesus gave her no reply—not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. “Tell her to get going,” they said, “for she is bothering us with all her begging.” Then he said to the woman, “I was sent to help the Jews—the lost sheep of Israel—not the Gentiles.” But she came and worshiped him and pled again, “Sir, help me!” “It doesn’t seem right to take bread from the children and throw it to the dogs,” he said. “Yes, it is!” she replied, “for even the puppies beneath the table are permitted to eat the crumbs that fall.” “Woman,” Jesus told her, “Your faith is large, and your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed right then.

This episode is a conversation with host Emma Hamilton and returning special guest Ilana about her jewellery making for her own business, Circadian Rhythm. Ilana shares how she began learning macramé and silversmithing, the techniques she uses to make beautiful necklaces, earrings, and rings, and how she has overcome some of the challenges of learning these techniques and making jewellery for her business during this nomadic phase of her life. Ilana’s story serves as reminder for all artists to follow their passions despite any feelings of a lack of confidence or resources; there is almost always a way to create anyway.
