4ZZZ

4ZZZ 4ZZZ is Queensland’s longest running FM radio station. Mostly, we are passionate about Brisbane and the things happening in our city.
(715)

As a not-for-profit community broadcaster, we have been reliably pumping out alternative music, news and culture since we began as the official student radio at the University of Queensland in 1975. Four and a half decades and plenty of history later, we’re broadcasting from Barry Parade in Fortitude Valley, connecting and amplifying the voices of our community across south-east Queensland and str

eaming throughout the world. Whether it's music, arts, LGBTQIA+, First Nations or local issues, we endeavour to empower local communities through community broadcasting. We are run by a small team of paid and volunteer staff, governed by the 4ZZZ Board of Directors and like many community radio stations, powered by volunteers. From the voices you hear on the radio, to the people who process your CDs or run events with our name on it, everyone at 4ZZZ loves what they do. You’ll hear it when you tune into 102.1FM or listen to our digital channel Zed Digital on your DAB radio, both available to stream online.

🥁 AOTW | Pipin - Spell 🥁
From the AOTW Committee - “Local dreamboat Pipin recently entertained us on Right Here Right Now, and here at 4ZZZ we’ve fallen hard.

Funnily enough, this release is called ‘Spell’ and it’s all the pop goodness we’ve come to expect from the Magandjin singer-songwriter.

Pipin says of this EP “Spell is all about getting playful, embracing whimsy and silliness and doing things your own way.”
