Deadly Choices Radio is a collection of conversations with various team members involved in the Deadly choices initiative, hosted by Brisbane Indigenous Media Association through 98.9fm.

'Deadly Choices is a health promotion initiative of the Institute for Urban Indigenous Health (IUIH).

It aims to empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to make healthy choices for themselves and their families – to stop smoking, to eat good food and exercise daily. Deadly Choices also encourages our people to access their local Community Controlled Health Service and complete an annual ‘Health Check’.'

Wild Black Women was hosted by Aboriginal women, Dr Chelsea Bond and Angelina Hurley and is a part of 989FM’s ‘Let’s Talk’ programming. The one hour show was designed to give Black Women’s perspectives on current issues, affairs and events that come up each week. One of the most popular and highly anticipated podcasts in the Aboriginal community, Wild Black Women was running for around three years, going from strength to strength, earning the women a spot on NITV’s ‘The Point’ before the Wild Black Woman team announced their retirement of the show in 2020.
