ABC Radio National Brisbane

ABC Radio National, heard in Brisbane on the RN frequency, is the ideas network of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. No music, no commercials: the schedule is built from talk - deep interviews, documentaries, analysis of politics and the economy, science, health, religion, arts and books, made for listeners who want more than headlines.

The network has a long history - its roots reach back to the earliest days of ABC national broadcasting - and its programs have shaped public conversation in Australia for generations, from Breakfast with the national figures of the day to the specialist shows on science and the mind. The Brisbane feed carries the same national schedule, and the live online stream makes RN available anywhere in the world, live or as podcasts - many RN programs live a second life among the most downloaded podcasts in the country.
