Community Access Media Alliance is the national body for the 12 independently-owned Community Access Media stations across Aotearoa. Our vision is for Aotearoa to have a vibrant, diverse, innovative, and sustainable Community Access Media sector valued for its democratic, community, and cultural uniqueness.
Wanting to be a broadcaster, radio host, content-creator, programme-maker, show-maker, or podcaster? Our 12 stations can help you make your own media. On-air or online, radio is a simple and inexpensive way to talk to your community-of-interest in any language.
Whether you’re a government entity, NGO, non-profit, company, or organisation, we can help you tailor your messages to speak directly and authentically to your target audience – in their language.
Now more than ever, local voices need to be heard. We’re building a more inclusive media landscape — one where everyone has access to create, participate, and thrive. But we can’t do it without you.

Your donation can help create a future where media is made by, for, and about the community.

In today’s special episode, Charlie is joined by not one, but two guests: Johnny Clifton, an Australian father, and his 11-year-old son, Jonas. Johnny has spent his life exploring the world, having visited an incredible 180 countries through budget travel and backpacking, rather than spending his money on material possessions, Johnny has made travelling the central focus of his life. Along the way, he has encountered more than his fair share of extraordinary experiences, from harrowing encounters with gorillas to being held at gunpoint on multiple occasions! And the adventures don't stop with Johnny. At just eleven years old, Jonas has already visited more than 90 countries himself, making him quite the seasoned traveller! Join Charlie as he sits down with this adventurous father-son duo to hear some of their most remarkable travel stories as well as their advice for anyone hoping to embark on their own adventures. A travelling interview podcast hosted by Charlie Ryan — an American on a year-long adventure across New Zealand.
