Energetic phenomena on the Sun and late-type stars pose a number of fascinating puzzles. These include coronal heating, flares, and coronal mass ejections, all believed to be manifestations of magnetic energy release. Radio radiation is a sensitive tracer of energetic phenomena on both the Sun and stars. Radio observations of the Sun over the past decade have produced new insights into the physics of magnetic energy release in flares and coronal mass ejections. Radio observations of late-type stars have exploited sensitive imaging and spectroscopic techniques to further constrain the nature of the relevant emission mechanisms. A surprise has been the recent discovery of radio emission from brown dwarf stars, implying the existence of substantial magnetic fields and a means of dissipating magnetic energy, neither of which are understood.
