About Deadly Sounds
Deadly Sounds is a national weekly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music program presented by Rhoda Roberts, journalist, actor and author. Deadly Sounds features music, culture, information and sport in a positive magazine format. Deadly Sounds supports a positive healthy lifestyle without too much alcohol and without drugs.
The show is broadcast through the community radio network as well as the National Indigenous Radio Service to almost 200 stations across Australia. In addition Deadly Sounds is broadcast through the Broadcasting in Remote Areas and Communities (BRACS) transmitter network to over 70 remote stations. BRACS is an Aboriginal - owned and controlled network. Deadly Sounds broadcasts to every State and Territory in Australia.
Deadly Sounds is for young Aboriginal people, but has appeal for people of all ages. Each week a high profile Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person is interviewed.
Deadly Sounds has been on air now for ten years and provides an excellent professional platform on which to promote new Indigenous music and showcase the range of Indigenous cultures and music within Australia.
Within the hour-long show, 10 Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander music tracks are played, culminating in the number one-selling Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander track for the week being announced.
Deadly Sounds has established the National Indigenous Music Awards, (aka 'The Deadlys'), recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander achievement in the music industry.
