The Collaborative Radio Project started in 2015 as a way for PBS to provide skills training to those feeling misrepresented, underrepresented and excluded from media spaces.

The station recognised the importance in providing platforms for diverse voices to be the authors of their own stories, helping to reshape the cultural narrative into a more inclusive and accurate representation of who we are as a society. However, what had become obvious was, that for many people, barriers such as time commitments, language and confidence, stood in the way of becoming regular announcers. The Collaborative Radio Project was developed in response to these challenges, facilitating the creation of pre-produced audio stories, documentaries, personal narratives and soundscapes.
