Tales from the Turntable: Brent James' Radio Legacy

Ready for a radio-centered trip down memory lane? Join us as we share some air time with the legendary Brent James, music director at 4BC. Brent’s love affair with radio started in the 60s, tuning into 4IP and 4BC. He takes us back to 1977, his first year on air at 4IP, a time he remembers as the pinnacle of the radio station and a time marked by significant technological shifts in the industry. 
Brent spins the tale of his journey from Wave FM to 4KQ, recounting his experience working on music compilations with Sony Music and the thrill of the chase as he tracked down rights holders for niche tracks. He also gives us a glimpse into the 50th Anniversary of 4KQ triple CD set, a compilation that sings the song of Brisbane’s music scene. Hear about Brent’s time at KQ and the talent that has found new broadcasting homes post-KQ. So, tune in for Brent’s heart-warming story of a life dedicated to the radio waves.
