Coronavirus has brought out the inner MacGyvers of radio presenters across the capital, all in the name of studio-quality audio.
Inside Gabe Caddy’s home is a studio set up made of a box covered with cardboard and foam, in Betsy Dixon’s home, there is another box, this time shrouded in pillowcases, meanwhile, Peter Monaghan has fashioned a cubby house from his bedroom closet, using pillows and blankets to line the walls.
The presenters and volunteers at Canberra’s 35-year-old arts and music community radio, ArtSound FM, have done what they can to make sure their shows still go to air in these unprecedented times.
