Out Of The Box

With an estimated 40,000 hours of music programming under her belt, Gayle Austin is Australia’s first female rock DJ. A true trailblazer, Gayle started working in Sydney radio in the late 1960s, producing for the shock jock John Laws among other icons of the airwaves. She then became an on-air icon herself, as a founding presenter of the ABC’s radical, underground youth station Double J in 1975. Producers: Bre Jones and Rebecca Merrick
