With over a decade on Australian airwaves and a radio career that began in 1997, Amardeep shares her inspiring story in this podcast with SBS Punjabi. - 1997 ਵਿੱਚ ਆਲ ਇੰਡੀਆ ਰੇਡੀਓ, ਜਲੰਧਰ ਤੋਂ ਆਪਣਾ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਰਣ ਸਫਰ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਅਮਰਦੀਪ ਕੌਰ ਪਿਛਲੇ ਦਸ ਤੋਂ ਵੀ ਜਿਆਦਾ ਸਾਲਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ਰੇਡੀਓ ਪੇਸ਼ਕਾਰੀ ਨਾਲ ਸਰਗਰਮ ਤੌਰ ‘ਤੇ ਜੁੜੇ ਹੋਏ ਹਨ। ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਰੇਡੀਓ ਦਿਵਸ ਦੇ ਮੌਕੇ ‘ਤੇ ਐਸ ਬੀ ਐਸ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਨੇ ਅਮਰਦੀਪ ਨਾਲ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਇਸ ਰੋਮਾਂਚਕ ਸਫਰ, ਰੇਡੀਓ ਮਾਧਿਅਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਏ ਤਕਨੀਕੀ ਅਤੇ ਸਮਾਜਿਕ ਬਦਲਾਵਾਂ, ਅਤੇ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਸ ਖੇਤਰ ਦੀਆਂ ਚੁਣੌਤੀਆਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਵਿਸਥਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਗੱਲਬਾਤ ਕੀਤੀ, ਜੋ ਇਸ ਪੌਡਕਾਸਟ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਸੁਣੀ ਜਾ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ।

Le prime pagine dei principali quotidiani nazionali commentate in rassegna stampa da Davide Giacalone. Il vertice dell'UE e il mercato unico, il referendum sullo giustizia, il World Radio Day. Olimpiadi. Le emozioni azzurre, a partire dall'impresa di Federica Brignone. Il punto sul medagliere dell'Italia con Tommaso Angelini. La presentazione delle gare di sci del weekend con il campione Giorgio Rocca. I fatti di attualità con Roberto Arditti, editorialista de Il Tempo. Il vertice dell'UE in Belgio, dove è tornato di attualità il fax. Antonio Marano, Presidente di Confindustria radio tv. In occasione del World Radio Day, il dibattito sulla scomparsa delle radio tradizionali (FM/AM) dalle nuove automobili è più acceso che mai. Le autoradio stanno progressivamente scomparendo, sostituite da sistemi di infotainment digitali, connessi e spesso a pagamento, una tendenza che solleva preoccupazioni per il pluralismo dell'informazione e l'accesso gratuito. All'interno di Non Stop News, con Barbara Sala e Ludovica Marafini.

Alla vigilia del World Radio Day, insieme a degli ospiti abbiamo trattato il tema di quest'anno: il rapporto tra radio e IA e le nuove regole dell'ACMA per la trasparenza.

In the flood of sources of information available to us today, Radio must be attributed the role of the really first mass medium. That is why the United Nations has proclaimed a 'World-Radio-Day,' which is held in February every year. - In der Flut von Informationsquellen, die uns heute zur Verfügung stehen, muss man dem Radio die Rolle des wirklich ersten Massenmediums zusprechen. Deswegen haben die Vereinten Nationen einen ‘Weltradiotag' proklamiert, der im Februar jeden Jahres abgehalten wird.

Every February 13th, we celebrate World Radio Day! Do you know when radio first began and why it remains important despite modern technology and the changing times? - Tuwing ika-13 ng Pebrero, ginugunita ang World Radio Day! Alam mo ba kung kailan nagsimula ang radyo at bakit mahalaga pa rin ito sa kabila ng makabagong teknolohiya at panahon?

Today we are celebrating World Radio Day — a tribute to the medium that has not only carried voices across distances but also connected hearts and minds. Radio has kept us informed with news, enriched us with music and stories, and created its own unique identity in every home. We spoke to members of our community and learned how radio has shaped their lives and the special place it holds in their experiences and cherished memories.

Artificial Intelligence is entering the radio studio — but what does that mean for trust, authenticity, and the future of broadcasting? With synthetic voices becoming harder to distinguish from real presenters, many listeners are asking how they can trust what they hear. Adwoa Tenkoramaa Domena speaks with DW's Editorial AI Manager Jasper Steinlein in Berlin and DW reporter Eric Mawuena in Accra.

For over a century, radio has remained one of the most powerful ways to connect with the world. In today's rapidly evolving media landscape, radio's human voice continues to inform, connect, and reflect our identity—past, present, and future. Hear SBS Urdu audiences share the value of SBS Audio. - ایک صدی سے زائد عرصے سے ریڈیو دنیا سے جڑنے کے طاقتور ترین ذرائع میں سے ایک رہا ہے۔ ابتدائی نشریات کی کھڑکھڑاتی آوازوں سے لے کر آج کے ڈیجیٹل اسٹریمز اور پوڈکاسٹس تک، ریڈیو نے کمیونٹیز کو باخبر رکھا، ثقافت کو فروغ دیا، اور اُن کہانیوں کو آواز دی جو شاید بصورتِ دیگر سنی نہ جا سکتیں۔

In advance of World Radio Day, we take a hard look at the future of radio: from its role in building public trust; its value to underrepresented communities; and its unique power as one of the last free, accessible news platforms. We also explore radio's role in music discoverability and a shared space for storytelling and performance. As audiences move to digital and private platforms, does terrestrial radio still matter? And what can radio's greatest moments teach us about the future of the medium?

What does he think the EU needs to do? The answer is, to quote Jan's article: “It's also about spending efficiency. We should buy more European – like the SAM-T and other weapon systems – to achieve economies of scale. For cheap, efficient weapon systems, you need economies of scale, which we won't get if we don't buy European. So it's about more than just investing money – how you invest matters.” In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question, suggested by RFI Listeners Club member Debashis Gope from West Bengal, India.
