Today on Thankful Thursdays, I am thankful for… Triple J “Hack”.
Every day I make a conscious effort to try to catch Triple J’s Hack program (Australian radio station). For those that don’t know, Triple J is a national broadcast station with a real focus on supporting Australian music but it has some incredible regular programs that push the button and create real debates and insights into issues that face young Australians.
Politics, work and equality rights, drug use, immigration, world issues, economics, and the list goes on! The topics are broad and always educational.
Normally I’m not one for really focusing on what is often grim news in our mainstream media, it’s not because I don’t want to see it or hear it, it’s purely because the topics, I believe are often sensationalized and it’s one bad thing after the other. Lack of focus is rarely paid to improvements or the opinion of the every day Australian, and rarely are we focusing on the good news stories.
Hack for me, gives voice to young Australians in a forum where we can learn what really matters to the youth of our country. It’s these news stories and discussions that give insight to the future direction of our youth and the difference they will make to our world; and the challenges they may face along the way!
I am thankful that there is this broadcasted space that is available to our young people in Australia!
What are you thankful for Naked?
With love, light and bundles of gratitude xx
