Koori Radio

Turn it up.

The next time you’re looking for a new jam to listen to, download Koori Radio and let it show you the way. As far as apps go it’s a super basic little radio player without many options but it does give you a nice clear broadcast from Sydney’s only First Nations radio station. There’s a section that lets you check Facebook and its website to see upcoming programs but they’re just inbuilt browser links. Instead, it’s all about the content. You’ll hear a lot of local music that might not have otherwise reached your ears and really good conversations from the perspective of First Nations people. As I write this I’m getting a new perspective from some genuinely likeable Kiwi women of colour hosting the current segment. It’s an easy way to get educated, find new tunes, and generally listen to some different voices. Again, the app itself is a bit basic and underwhelming but the station is more than worth your time.
