OFF THE DIAL WITH RTRFM

RTRFM

All the latest news and more from our fave radio station RTRFM!

This week is National Volunteer Week 2020 and RTRFM want to take a brief moment to thank all the volunteers that make RTRFM work.

Lets firstly look at the sheer numbers of them:
Broadcasters – 356
Office Volunteers – 15 per week
Assistant Producers – 15 per week
Music Department – 8 per week
Radiothon Volunteers – 120
Trades people / helpers when needed – 50 a year
Bands for our events – 300 plus
DJs for our events – 50 plus
Pro-Bono help from external folks – countless


If we were to tally it up we suspect close to 2000 people per year on average help in some form to keep RTRFM alive and kicking. From those who come to the office every week to the bands who volunteer their time for our gigs. We’ve been around for 43 years… you do the sums on how many people have passed through our doors.


It truly is staggering the passion, commitment and support a small station in Mt Lawley receives from people who love and cherish everything it does. We could not do it without them and we thank them for it every day


All this week we will be celebrating volunteers around the country who keep us going, particularly when things get tough as they are now. Our presenters and volunteers did not waiver, they asked what they could do to keep the radio alive and they did it.
We would love for you to support them back by donating to Radio Love Month: Here In Isolation and help keep independent radio alive.

You can donate here today

WIN AN RTRFM LOCAL FEATURE ALBUM

Self Titled, Leaving

This week’s local feature album is the self-titled ‘Leaving’.

Recorded between 2013 and 2017, ‘Leaving’ is the self-titled debut of Rupert Thomas. A stalwart of Perth’s experimental music scene, one half of the band Erasers and the Pouring Dream record label, Thomas presents a distinctive West Coast dreamscape on the LP, diving headfirst into an ocean of deep drones and gutsy ambience.

Arpeggiated melodies buzz and weave in out of each other, creating seemingly endless layers of sonics that are just as easy as to get lost in as they are to comfortably skim across.

These spacious sounds are punctuated by percussive details and otherworldly echoes; reminiscent of the uniquely open metropolitan environment that can be found in Perth and vast natural landscape that can be found beyond. Written and recorded locally on Noongar boodja (country), ‘Leaving’ is released by local Good Company Records and has a special connection its country; stirring up a comforting, timeless and meditative sonic image that is unlikely to be found elsewhere.

To win, simply email RTRFM with your choice of feature album, your name, phone number and subscriber number.
