Show Radio Catch Up Thursday 9th April Part 1

We head down to the Alpaca Shearing to find out all we need to know about removing the fleece from these unique animals. Ever wondered what it takes to make the Easter Show run? We were lucky enough for Shane McGrath, Operations Manager of Royal Agricultural Society, to take some time out of his busy schedule to join us live in the studio. Don't forget you can follow Show Radio on Instagram @aftrsRadio.

Catch all the fun of the show! Experience Australia's largest agricultural show, through the eyes and ears of radio & podcasting students from the Australian Film Television and Radio School, official broadcasters for the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
