Taking Up Space

Taking Up Space is a internet radio show based in Canberra, Australia, which debuted in August, 2007. The show is hosted by Kraden, Emily, Nat, and Neil. It features multiple user segments, and covers topics ranging from entertainment to world news and Internet culture. The show is intentionally laid-back stylistically.

Unfortunately, due to internal problems the podcast was placed on an indefinite hiatus on July 14th 2008. Then on August 25th, 2008 Taking Up Space host Kraden returned to podcasting with a new show, ACTfur On Air.
