What we learnt from ABC live radio:
👉 radio controls are to podcast controls as millennium falcon piloting is to pod racer piloting
👉 the nicest people you will meet are radio hosts and producers (they hype you up so much)
👉 when your friends listen live it’s pure magic
👉 ten minutes feels like thirty seconds
👉 not everyone gets to experience science outside of the classroom (a great reminder)
👉 Kim’s music choice is 🔥🔥🔥
