Let's Talk is a one hour radio talk back show that has been running for well over 20 years and podcasts are available online from 1999. One of the most relevant radio shows, now also podcast for Aboriginal perspectives on politics, current affairs and events, ‘Let’s Talk’ is made in Brisbane at ‘98FM’ (Formerly known as 4AAA Murri Radio) and is played on other First Nations radio stations around the country via the National Indigenous Radio Service. Hosted by Tiga Bayles until his passing in 2016, the show continued with a range of different hosts including, Amy McQuire, Wild Black Women, Bogain Spearim, 'The Aunties' (Dr Lilla Watson and Dr Mary Graham) and Kaava Watson. As one of 989FM’s most popular and longest running programs, it is expected to remain as a key feature of the stations presence in the social, political and cultural discussions in Aboriginal Media.

'In the interest of our children and all future generations, in the interest of the survival of the human race we must all become a part of the solution and stop being part of the problem. It is now time for us to think for ourselves and make our own decisions, because we cannot afford to follow the blind and the ignorant any longer. We must think for ourselves and act accordingly.

You see it is now time for us, the people of this country, to take a long, critical look at ourselves and this society in which we live in. I think it is now necessary for me to point out a few cold hard facts that may assist you in identifying some needs for change, thus supporting my statement that we must make changes to improve this society in which we live.'
