whydev supports and contributes to Australia’s only radio program devoted to discussing aid and development issues – Aidworks – on 2SER 107.3FM. Hosted by Albion Harrison-Naish, AidWorks looks into the often confusing world of international aid & development.
Being the only news show in Australia devoted to these issues, Aidworks look beyond the usual mass media cycle of disaster and conflict in the developing world to report on the challenges, the triumphs, the amazingly talented and inspiring people and the conversations taking place all over the world about how to make our planet a more equitable and just place.
You can tune into the program every Wednesday night from 7:00pm AEDT. Aidworks also streams, and you can download the podcast, from www.2ser.com
If you would like to be involved, ask a question or have an idea, please contact program director and host, Albion Harrison-Naish, at aidworks@2ser.com
