Congratulations to Ian Stanistreet OAM, former PBS station manager (1982-1988) and CEO of the Community Broadcasting Foundation, who was awarded the Medal of Order of Australia (OAM) for his services to broadcast media on January 26, 2025.  The Order of Australia recognises Australians who have demonstrated outstanding service and exceptional achievement.

This week's PBS Feature Album is Cosmic Seeds, the latest album from psychedelic Naarm/Melbourne locals Brown Spirits.

This week's PBS Feature Album is The Bad Fire, the eleventh album by Scottish rock band Mogwai.

Named after a working-class Glaswegian term for Hell, The Bad Fire reflects the difficult time that members of the band were going through at the time of writing. The music of Mogwai is a difficult thing to describe, but an easy thing to experience. At punishing volume, it can annihilate your body, leaving you as little more than a head which should by rights fall helplessly to the ground.

The pigs that go weeeeeeee are here for round threeeeee – this New Year's Eve, When Pigs Fly returns to Melbourne’s plushest paddock!

Shake off the last bits of winter and step into the warmth of spring, get ready for a New Year’s Eve filled with farmyard fun and plenty of surprises.
