We are proud to launch From Pillar to Post, a new podcast designed to take real issues to and from the people shaping them: listeners, politicians and community media practitioners.
Hosted by CBAA Political Reporter Noah Secomb, each 15-minute episode offers a fresh, accessible space for socially and politically curious Australians aged 18–30 to explore the stories that impact our communities. While created with young listeners in mind, From Pillar to Post is for anyone interested in real conversations about the way decisions are made, and felt, across Australia.
Through thought-provoking discussions that centre lived experiences, community voices and independent media, the podcast builds connections between the decision-makers in government and the grassroots practitioners reporting on the issues that matter.

First episode: Australia's News Media Bargaining Code

Guests in the launch episode include:
Together, they explore how the Code, initially created to ensure tech giants fairly support Australian news, is evolving, and how Australia’s community media sector fits into a rapidly changing media environment.
Why From Pillar to Post?
In a shifting media landscape, community media remains vital in sharing diverse voices and experiences. From Pillar to Post brings these perspectives to the fore, offering listeners a chance to hear directly from those making and reporting the news at every level.
Whether you are a young Australian eager to understand the forces shaping your world, a community media practitioner, or simply someone who values independent voices, From Pillar to Post promises an insightful listen.
