About Peter Goers

Peter Goers is an actor, director, reviewer, former academic and host of the ABC Local Radio program, The Evening Show, which broadcasts throughout  South Australia and into New South Wales. His career has spanned over 35 years in the entertainment industry, across a range of different mediums including television and theatre. Once a feared arts critic, Peter describes himself as a reformed social irritant. As a columnist for Adelaide’s Sunday Mail and a radio announcer he has won himself a dedicated audience. Peter has lent his prominent public profile to volunteer for various community organisations across South Australia. Peter is patron of six arts and community organisations, ambassador for numerous charities and the Port Adelaide Football Club. Attending more than 120 community events in the past year, he has taken on a range of responsibilities from public speaking, mentoring and committee work, to assist in raising awareness of local programs and events. His commitment is notable with almost all of his spare time spent supporting these community, artistic and cultural groups in achieving their goals. It is a contribution he prefers to think of as “a rare privilege”.

“The ABC produces journalism vital for Australian democracy, particularly in a disrupted media environment where the crisis of disinformation is undermining society’s access to trustworthy, credible information. The ABC’s vital role, however, is being undermined by external threats and pressure which degrade trust in the ABC and threaten ABC journalists’ ability to speak truth to power. In my presentation, I will discuss why it is important to support and properly fund the ABC to ensure it continues to produce quality journalism, but also why we should be helping to defend ABC against the threats which work to undermine its centrality to Australian democracy.” Victoria Fielding July 03, 2024
