About this listen

In the corner of the lounge room sat the radio.

At night, people gathered around it.Families listened together — to the news, the cricket, the weather, and voices from far away.

For a long time, the radio was the centre of the room.

Then the room changed.Screens arrived.The radio was pushed aside.

But it never really disappeared.

Now, in some homes, it is finding its way back — not as furniture in the corner, but as a small voice in a child’s hand.Stories.Songs.Listening again.

This is an Australian story about the radio — where it once lived, what became of it, and how it is quietly returning.
