Round the Ground is an Australian radio show and blog dedicated to our regional music communities.

Each episode, I dive deep into the scene of a different town or city, and exclusively play artists from that area, whether they’re household names or just starting to build a following. Often, I’ll also interview a musician to be a tour guide for their hometown.

Tune in

Stay tuned… Round the Ground will return to radio soon.

In the past, the show has been broadcast from RadioU at the University of Wollongong, and Xpress Radio at Cardiff University. The intro music for Round the Ground is “Grange” by Hockey Dad.

About me

Heya, I’m Marcus. I’m a comms and media student from the University of Wollongong, majoring in journalism. In my second year I discovered my passion for radio by news reading, and now I research music scenes, curate playlists, produce, and present Round the Ground by myself.

I love Australian music and spotlighting talent particularly from regional areas… I truly believe we have the strongest local music scene in the world. In the future, I’d love to work within triple j Unearthed.
