The main studios of 2SER-FM sit within a short, five-minute stroll of the #ABC Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The geographic proximity stages a quiet but persistent juxtaposition. Two broadcasting sites occupy the same urban terrain while embodying markedly different relationships to power, voice and public life.

"2SER, or Sydney Educational Radio, is owned by the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and Macquarie University, the latter of which announced it would withdraw its funding for the station this year."

Community radio has been a major chunk of my upbringing, and having been involved, this one hits hard.
