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.

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.
