Community radio 3CR in Melbourne has been on air for 50 years. For 25 of those years, Marisa Sposaro has volunteered. Blind since birth and suffering from a dearth of available information, her introduction to 3CR on radio opened her world. Experiences led her to focus especially on the inequality and harsh treatment of indigenous persons and immigrants in Australian prisons and detention centers
This interview, conducted by Zoe, originally aired in the community radio series Accent of Women, in January 2026. Accent of Women is produced at 3CR. Adaptation for WINGS by Frieda Werden.
