98.5 ONE FM Podcasts is a broad, locally grounded feed from 1FM Shepparton. It sounds like community radio because it is community radio: fast greetings, quick sponsor pivots, practical details, and familiar voices working through what is happening around town. Sport is a major pillar. Sport and Road follows motorsport through Supercars weekends, pit-lane procedures, race schedules, safety cars, and the kind of road-safety reminders that naturally sit beside car talk. At The Net brings the same local weight to tennis, especially around finals, club results, season reviews, and regional competitions. The show does not treat local sport as filler. It treats it as community memory. Outside sport, the feed opens into civic and social life. Steve Neffy Neff talks through We Listen Mental Health Group fundraising and support work. Will Adams from the Shepparton Adviser brings a news rhythm, with stories about local pilots, development, business profiles, and Good Friday Appeal fundraising. Bronwyn Cole brings Goulburn Valley Libraries into the studio with free holiday activities, crafts, author talk, and a loose enough rapport for the conversation to wander and return. Rowan Farren-Parnell brings advocacy around Mooroopna, education access, public transport, and planning questions. The multilingual programs add another layer, including AfriConnect and Mandarin programming that foregrounds culture, identity, migration, and community connection. Some episodes repeat intros or hold onto live-radio rough edges. That makes the feed feel less like a packaged series and more like a station archive with the doors open. It suits listeners who want the texture of Shepparton as much as the information: sports club pride, practical event details, public concerns, family activities, local names, and a few jokes before the next question lands.
Made for: Best for listeners with ties to Shepparton, the Goulburn Valley, local sport, community services, libraries, multilingual programming, and regional public life. It also suits anyone who likes conversational radio that values practical details over polish.
What sets it apart: Unlike a single-topic sports or news podcast, this feed preserves the full spread of a community station. Motorsport, tennis, mental health support, advocacy, library activities, local reporting, and multilingual stories sit side by side.
