MUSEXPO Asia Pacific Panel: "Australia State Of The Host Nation" feat. Richard Kingsmill, triple j

Discussion as part of the "State Of The Host Nation" panel at MUSEXPO Asia Pacific in Perth, Australia on October 18, 2009.

The panel featured (from left to right):

Moderator: Ian James, Managing Director, Mushroom Music Publishing

Iain Shedden, Music Writer, The Australian
Richard Moffat, Founder, Way Over There
Richard Kingsmill, Music Director, triple j
Paul Piticco, Founder, Secret Service/Dew Process
Tim Prescott, CEO, Albert Music
Ed St. John, Chairman and President & CEO, ARIA and Warner Music

This particular video features Richard Kingsmill responding to Ian James' questions about triple j's role as a national broadcaster. Questions include:

- How many people work at triple j?
- What about just the music team?
- Is there any way to keep your ears clean? Do you take a break where you listen to nothing for a week?
- With the internet opening up radio broadcasting around the world, we were talking beforehand about how triple j could become a kind of 'voice of Australian music'. Do you think that's realistic?
- There's three of you on the 'front line' and 37 people in the back room, couldn't one of you put your mind to [a project like that]?
- Unearthed has obviously been an important thing for a lot of artists. Do you still find a high level of quality of acts coming through the system, as when it first started?
