P.S. Apologies that Ska Street 3MDR was MIA last Saturday. Laryngitis is doing the rounds in the hills. 🫠 I'll be back this Skaturday for more Ska on your radio; voice or no voice! 😅

Community Radio 3MDR is People Powered — fuelled by the volunteers who show up, the musicians who share their art, and the listeners who tune in every day.

But behind every broadcast, there are real bills to pay. That’s why we’re calling on our community to dig deep before June 30 and support our End of Financial Year Donation Drive.

Our costs are increasing every year, which is why we need the support of our community to continue to provide a platform for local music and under-represented voices.

3MDR is a registered charity, and all donations over $2 are tax-deductible.

Head to 3MDR.com/donate to support YOUR community radio station.
