My son and I were supposed visit Aus last summer between semesters at uni.  Unfortunately coronavirus has delayed those plans.

I did create a thread here asking for some suggestions of suggestions of what Australian radio stations I might want to stream.  That thread was removed as not being electronics relevant or whatever.  I typically listen to Jonesie and Amanda on WSFM when tinkering on the bench in the evenings.

Canada has a strange Canadian content law that favors Canadian artists for airplay.  I'm a bit tired of that, and thought I could open my ears to Australian acts.  Does Aus have the same kind of regulation?

I do find myself enjoying the youtube channels of eevblog and David Tipton.  I have caught a couple TV programs like Upright and Squinters.  I enjoy the differences in slang.

I think Australian culture is very compatible with Canadian culture even if the setting looks very different.

Indeed.

The main difference seems to be that the values you find in Canada are similar to those in Australia ... about 30 years ago.


Many years ago I made a friend in a stranger lined up to pay for petrol.  When I heard him speak, I addressed him and said "Your accent..." - his face grimaced - "... isn't American."  His eyes lit up as did a smile and he announced "I'm Canadian!".

Pretty good middle-of-the-road listening for those of us who remember the 80's (IMHO).  They're the default station for radios within my reach.
