Atahnee Simpson … the new voice being heard on Cherbourg Radio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 20, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until now Atahnee Simpson has never actually lived in Cherbourg … but when she started work at the local community radio station this week, she felt like she’d come home.<\/p>\n

Atahnee was raised and went to school in Ipswich, but she’s a proud Wakka Wakka woman.<\/p>\n

She’s been visiting Cherbourg ever since she was a little girl and has many relatives living in the town, including her dad Neville.<\/p>\n

While still at school, Atahnee began a traineeship at the Brisbane Indigenous Media Association (BIMA), completing a Certificate III in Media.<\/p>\n

She then started working as a cadet journalist at the National Indigenous Radio Service at 98.9FM in West End, Brisbane.<\/p>\n

Soon Atahnee was reading news bulletins, doing phone interviews, sourcing new stories, editing audio clips …<\/p>\n

But all the time she was looking out for an opportunity to move to Wakka Wakka country.<\/p>\n

So when a job became available recently at Cherbourg Radio, she jumped at the chance.<\/p>\n

Atahnee began work at the radio station this week, and completed her first face-to-face interview on Tuesday (with Education Minister Grace Grace, who was visiting the town).<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I always wanted to move here,” Atahnee said.<\/p>\n

“Last year, I was coming here every month. I have a feeling of being home, being on my land …”<\/p>\n

Atahnee has been “learning the ropes” at Radio Cherbourg, sitting in with Chrissy B daily from 9:00am.<\/p>\n

The plan is for Atahnee to host her own radio show from 10:00am, starting next week.<\/p>\n

“It will be my first time doing live radio. Before everything has been pre-recorded,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I’m nervous but very excited.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
