Almost every weekday, students from across Victoria visit SYN for Radio Tours.
The tour is 1.5 hours and goes over the essential components of producing and presenting a radio program, with the opportunity for hands-on experience in our production studio. During the tour, students see a youth media organisation in action, and have the chance to create their own radio program with the help of experienced young volunteers.
Listen here for the latest audio from student radio tours.
