Programs strive to be engaging and accessible.
They offer rich, structured content for the formal learner whilst providing the general listener a great opportunity to learn about subjects from the ground up. You can hear programs across the week on Radio National, in early morning and afternoon time slots. The schedule follows Open Learning study periods, which are based on a 13-week cycle. Open Learning series, along with programs produced by Radio Australia's Education Unit , form the bedrock of Radio National's Lifelong Learning schedule.
