Difficult Listening goes to air at 9.00 pm WST every Sunday evening on RTR FM 92.1 in Perth, Western Australia. It is also streamed over the RTR FM web site. Links to restreams and play lists are available at the Difficult Listening web site.

The program covers a variety of genres that all push the boundaries of musicality, in areas as diverse as contemporary chamber music, noise, dark ambient, impro, free jazz, musique concrete, spoken word and electronica.

The program has been running since 1989. Its founder and coordinator is Bryce Moore, who has been with the show since its inception, ably assisted by a series of co-presenters, most recently Rosalind Appleby.
