ripple radio

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Jehan will be on radio at about 20 past ten tonight to spread the ripple across the airwaves

We are being featured on a program full of “socially penetrating commentary for mature teenagers or immature adults”. If you live in Melbourne you can tune into Triple RRR on 102.7 FM. If you live elsewhere (which according to our statistics is the vast majority of you!) you can listen to the stream here

Would you like to be a ripple representative in your own town/city/state/country? Get in touch with us!
