The Coming Out Show

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Coming Out Show was a radio program about women's issues broadcast by Australian Broadcasting Corporation.[1]

The program was first broadcast on ABC Radio 2 (now Radio National) in 1975, the United Nations designated International Women's Year, and ran for 23 years (until c.1998).[2] It was launched as Coming Out Ready Or Not, produced by the Australian Women's Broadcasting Cooperative.[3]

The 1995 book The Coming Out Show: Twenty years of feminist ABC Radio, edited by Liz Fell and Carolin Wenzel, tells the story of the program.[4]
