This time the Oz Rock hour with Ange is dedicated to the amazing Aussie bad ass rock chicks and cool female indie rockers that have recently been on our airwaves. Enjoy sounds from Alex Lahey, Angie McMahon, Claire-Anne Taylor, Sarah McMahon, Adalita, Carla Geneve,  Courtney Barnett, Ruby Fields, the magical trio of Jen Cloher, Liz Stringer and Mia Dyson as well as great rock bands This Way North, The Buoys, Public Figures, Emma Donovan and the Putbacks, Scabz, Full Flower Moon Band and Amyl and the Sniffers. So much great girly energy and music in this crowded Oz Rock Hour!

This week, join Tony and Shippa as they delve into a rather niche market of elegant sonic ambience, with sounds that will tantalise your aural cavities to perfection. Yes, the lads unleash the Neish! Yes, Brisbane artist extraordinaire Neish joins Tony and Shippa to discuss how to apply for music scholarships, put in the hard work and take whatever life throws at you to make you stronger. This remarkable young talent will wow you with her music and her modest charm.

In the second half of the show, you’ll hear tracks from Total Tommy (Sydney), Ronin Rayn (Brisbane), Grace Potter (Topanga, USA), The Great Emu War Casualties (Melbourne/Sydney), Bunyip Aristocracy (Gold Coast), Unicorn (Fremantle), Fatal Divine (Finland), Lontano (Bulimia, Old), Gwyn Ashton (Adelaide) and Gyasi (Nashville, Tennessee), with Shippa’s Surprise Bang Lasso proving that they are anything but Ordinary!

In this month's radio show we chat with Larry Kern, the newly elected President of the Yackandandah Men's Shed. We also play some songs chosen by Larry, and learn a little about his life outside of the Yack Shack.
And of course, we provide an update for members and listeners on what's coming up in the Women's Shed, including a couple of special events that promise to be a lot of fun.

Each year Sept 19 is International Talk Like A Pirate Day - I take a look at a few moments in time where music was banned from the radio airwaves due to fear of it's content being too strong for listeners sensitivities at the time (or in some instances far too upbeat and happy!). In the wake of the 2001 September 11 terrorist attack, Clear Channel Communications (these days iHeart Media) who at the time were the largest owner of radio stations in USA released a "memorandum" proposing that 165 songs not be played on the radio until further notice. These included classics like Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven", John Lennon's "Imagine" and Cat Stevens "Peace Train". The list also included the entire catalogue of Rage Against The Machine - the only band to have that "status".

We look at TV shows that banned artists for playing songs that hadn't been agreed to, there's a couple of tracks from the soundtrack to the cult 1990 film starring Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis 'Pump Up The Volume'.

We're also looking at a unique moment in Australia in 1970, where an industrial dispute broke out between Record Labels and Radio Stations dubbed the "Radio Ban".
