4ZZZ started its life as 4ZZ, broadcasting out of the University of Queensland in St Lucia. But as times change and politics change, so too does location. Produced for the Radio in Colour documentary to celebrate 4 decades of 4ZZZ, this story looks at how the dissolution of the Soviet Union prompted the Communist Party of Australia to sell the Barry Parade building to 4ZZZ in 1993.
Ian Curr, Jim Beatson and Heather Anderson talk about the negotiations involved, and the excitement of a permanent address.
This project is a partnership between 4ZZZ and local ethnic community radio 4EB, the Multicultural Development Association, and The Edge at the State Library of Queensland. Visit their website: edgeqld.org.au for a list up upcoming courses and meetups for creative types in Brisbane.
