World Radio Day: 'Radio is a therapy for migrants', radio presenter Amardeep Kaur

"This is Jalandhar centre of All India Radio.” For many Punjabis, this familiar phrase was a staple of 1990s radio. This World Radio Day, SBS Punjabi connects with the voice behind that iconic introduction: Amardeep Kaur. Now a prominent figure in the Australian Punjabi community, Amardeep was seeking a sense of home when she joined Harman Radio, one of Australia’s first private 24/7 Punjabi-language stations. With over a decade on Australian airwaves and a radio career that began in 1997, Amardeep shares her inspiring story in this podcast with SBS Punjabi.
