The Radio Reading Network offers an ‘alternate format’ (spoken word) access to print media for those with a print disability.
We’ve put together a listing of the stations’ frequencies right around the country and have also included New Zealand’s reading service.
The majority of these stations, you can also tune into online. So if you’re in Sydney and want to hear what’s going on in Melbourne’s papers you can.
