Gawler Identities

Everyone has a story, and Marilyn Simpson is on a mission to find them all. 

With over a decade of experience in community radio, at both BBBFM in the Barossa, and more recently at PBAFM in Salisbury where she hosts Easy Does It, a mix of music and interviews, and Words Out Loud, a program for writers, Marilyn brings you the stories behind the name, the stories that make up people’s identities, and explores what makes Gawler more than just a town, but also a community.
