New image and name for travel radio show

We have done some renovating to our weekly travel radio show - the name has been altered to Travel Radio Australia (having dropped the 'ATW' from before the title).

When the show first went to air some 12 years ago it carried the same title as its US-based sister program 'Around the World' which goes to air in Santa Barbara (CA) several times a week.

More recently, with many of the listeners now online (although it still goes to air on community radio stations throughout Australia each week) we opted to alter the name to ATW Travelradio Australia to better reflect our Australian roots of the show, even though we still carry content from our 'mates' in the 'states'.

This latest name/logo change is the third and final stage of the show's transformation.

As our web address has been travelradioaustralia.com for several years now, it made sense to adopt that same name for the show, making it very easy to find in Google searches and easier to remember as well. Just type in 'travel radio' and we're there right near the top.

Despite the name and logo change, we still feature the same team and content every week...there's absolutely no reason to alter a successful format.

Following in the footsteps of Richard the Lionheart

European contributor to ATW Travelradio Australia, Frances Beasley follows the route taken by Richard the Lionheart from France to England in the 12th Century. Also on this edition John Crook reviews Windowrie wines from Australia. US contributor Martha Bull travels to Mexico. Another US reporter, Sue Frause tells listeners about her recent experiences in Hawaii.

ATW Travelradio Australia is hosted/produced by yours truly, Ren Zwiers in Brisbane, Australia and heard each week on around 30 Community Radio Network affiliated stations throughout this island nation.
It is the longest established weekly travel radio show in Australia and has been podcast on its own website www.travelradioaustralia.com for a number of years as well. It is a sister program to the award-winning and also long-established Around the World travel radio show hosted by Arthur von Wiesenberger and friends in Santa Barbara, California.
