  In this article I will briely review the current status of radio observations
of nearby supernovae and their remnants. This review will initially address
observations of the radio light curves of nearby core-collapse supernovae,
followed by a more detailed summary of recent Very Long Baseline
Interferometric observations of the expansion of nearby supernovae and their
remnants. These later sections will concentrate on a few sources, namely those
found in M82, SN1993J, and the recent supernovae SN2004et. In addition I will
discuss the many radio detections of supernovae found in the highly obscured
centres of starburst galaxies, such as M82 and Arp220, where no optical
detections are possible.
