In the first episode of From the Embers podcast we hear the story of how a transistor radio and couple of batteries kept people connected during the bushfires as they listened to the constant emergency alerts. But in between the official messages are the human ones.
Five presenters working across two regions share their experience of the recent Australian summer of fire and what happened when one region’s transmitter went down.
