Each week on Talking Zeds we'll feature a rotation of special guests, historical figures and the people who shaped 4ZZZ into what it is today. This Thursday, the 16th of October we're continuing our 50th celebration special programming with a feminist retrospective- Megaherzzz through the decades!

Feminist programming has existed on 4ZZZ since the station began, with Through The Looking Glass (TTLG) starting early 1976. In 1983, the Megahers Women's Radio Collective was established which later became Megaherz and now is known as Megaherzzz.

Heather and Kirstyn co-hosted Megaherz in the mid-1990s will retuern, and the episode features interviews with former TTLG and Megahers/zzz announcers from across the decades.

Front row - Wendy Rogers, Ingrid Vogelsang RIP, Maria, Liz Willis. Absent: Sandra McLean, Mary Williams, and Karen Hooper (Photo: © Suzie Broadbent 1984)
