This week on Planet X we’ve got something special — Fenn Wilson and his band The Weather playing live in the 3CR studio! A 30-minute set, straight to air.
Hosted by Dr Gonzo.
Fenn Wilson’s post-punk hits hard — intricate guitars, a huge voice, and lyrics that dig deep. His songs shift from explosive to tender, turning pain into poetry and sound into pure feeling.
Independent voices, uncompromising music — on 3CR.

After years away from the studio, experimental punk artist Julie Montan - better known as Princess Liar - returns with a fierce new six-track EP, Tell Me The Truth Do You Love Me Or Not.
Now based in North Queensland, Julie channels raw emotion, poetic rage, and fearless experimentation into a record that stares down love, loss, and the chaos of modern life while holding tight to hope.
With a legacy spanning bands like Your Animal, WUV, and Lovers of the Black Bird, she continues to shape Australia’s underground sound.
Julie Montan joins Dr Gonzo on And This One’s Introduced By… to present the new Princess Liar album—on 3CR, community radio for independent voices and uncompromising music.

Tune in on Weds. at 11pm on 29th October 2025 on 3CR for "And This One's Introduced By..." presented by Dr Gonzo with Julie Montan introducing the songs from Tell Me The Truth Do You Love Me Or Not by Princes Liar

Rachel Kirby joined the 3CR staff team as the Volunteer Coordinator in 2009 and became Station Manager in 2016. Her contribution to the station over more than 15 years is immeasurable, and the station enjoyed the benefits of her hard work, steady hand and deep commitment to community broadcasting as a tool for social change. After 9 years at the helm, Rachel resigned in June 2025. She was the longest serving 3CR Community Radio Station Manager, and her impact will be felt and celebrated for many years to come.



Thank you Rachel, and congratulations!
