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.

We also take a look at understanding “The Word” and what it can mean in everyday life, along with how to stay grounded and present in the moment. Margot is our go to for life problems.

As a former president of the Friends of Tūhura and granddaughter of H. D. Skinner, Julie Pearse is well qualified to share the Friends' rich history. With fascinating anecdotes and historical information, Julie enlightens listeners on the highs and lows of the Association of Friends, how it battled membership problems in the 2000s and rose again. She tells tales of her “Pop’s” excavations and the games he would play with her in the museum. She also shares her father Dick Skinner’s views on the museum’ retention of Wharenui Mataatua and how they differed from her own. Our hosts are delighted to share glimpses of Julie’s lifetime of dedication to the museum, her mission work and establishment of the Otago Farmers Market, activities which contributed to her becoming a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2025.

Oliver is in touch with Ireland with phone reports of all that's happening this week in Ireland, sports news and music.
It was a close call this week. The Mystery Man was playing hurt and he, being a co-essential key in the Parabolic scheme of things, the programme was uncertain. But he, like me, observes the showbiz tradition of ‘if you can walk, you can make the gig’. He walked to Studio A, we had a gig! Party on, world! And a hearty Oooba Doooba for good measure. Speaking for myself, my week would been far less if we lost the opportunity to lay on you the likes of The Rock n Roll Trio featuring Johnny Burnette (the greatest Rockabilly band of all time I submit to you boldly and without fear of contradiction). Adding to the thrills, Ken Nordine, Slim Gaillard’s Quartet, the Mighty Diamonds, The Grip Weeds, and Be Bop Deluxe. The Mystery Man put the cherry on top to finalise the fracas with music from Estonia as supplied by Trad Attack and their punky, spiky joy. Dare I say it? Why not? This week’s tour de farce is more fun than the law should allow.
