| Stephen Walker and 3RRR ‘s relationship
is special. Having devoted 21 years in some capacity to RRR, he
has helped define the message and direction of the station that
equally gives him the opportunity to demonstrate his passion for
music, alternative culture and the community.
During this time, he once held the official role
as program manager for 14 years, while today he hosts the most subscribed
to program on the station “The Skull Cave”. Other shows
he has hosted in the past include, “From the bunker”,
“Survival talkback” and “Ghost in the machine”.
His insatiable ears, eyes and mind teamed with
his pre-occupation of global politics, make entertaining listening
for his audiences. The shows’ blend of honest reviews, intelligent
discourse and unpredictable selection of music, inspire the listeners
to broaden their minds. This is in stark contrast to mainstream
media, where the exact opposite seems to be the objective.
Previous occupations and pursuits have included
stints as a farmer, secondary school teacher, youth worker, jewellery
maker and a professional actor, although he loves most the ephemeral
nature of spontaneous radio.
He has exercised his extraordinary knowledge of
music and artists by writing articles for “Rolling Stone”
the ABC ‘dig radio’ and “The Beat” amongst
others. He has interviewed Iggy Pop, Guns and Roses, Ozzie Osbourne,
Alice Cooper, The Ramones, The Cramps, TISM and numerous other legends
and nobodies.
