Breaking Waves is a program about smashing stereotypes and dispelling stigma. It’s about daring to be different, and getting maximum fun out of life. Honest, provocative and often hilarious, Breaking Waves is training a new generation of radio personalities and presenters, skilling them up and letting them loose on the airwaves. They’ll make you laugh and sometimes you’ll shed a few tears. Breaking Waves is brought to you by Eastside Radio and produced by Ruth Hessey in the 89.7FM Paddington studios in Sydney in association with the Community Broadcasting Foundation.
