Cool announce today at the ol’ triple j: we’re now powering Dig Music. Heaps of new music with a few classics mixed in there and cool guest hosts.

There’s some good explainers on the Music Network here and in Fairfax here.

Also – while we’re at it – I really enjoyed this piece on triple j by Andrew McMillen. To be honest, over the years I’ve read some pretty shitty, cynical press about the station I love (click-bait, etc), but this one felt right. I’ve always felt that triple j is so big and diverse and involves such a big mix of people and audience that if any one person thinks that absolutely everything it does is good, something’s wrong. 

Here’s to the future!

We did these unspeakable acts for the sake of the ABC Syria Appeal. People need your help! Please chuck in some cash if you can spare it.
