FIRST NATION STORYTELLERS LAUNCH PODCASTS
:: Compelling new Podcasts ::
South Australian First Nations storytellers have launched four new podcasts across ABC Radio networks this month.
The 15min podcasts, each a unique response to the NAIDOC theme ‘Heal Country’, were developed and produced under a new initiative, Podcasting for Beginners. Held in June, the regional initiative of the South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC), Country Arts SA and Riverland Youth Theatre was delivered by experienced First Nations mentor Raymond Zada and supported by award-winning First Nations media worker Christine Brown of Nunga Wangga Media Aboriginal Corporation.
The four episodes include interviews, storytelling and open conversations, all created using smartphones, and are as diverse as the storytellers who made them.
SAFC First Nations Industry Development Executive Nara Wilson said “The SAFC is proud to launch these four diverse and compelling podcast episodes produced by First Nations people with vastly different experience, but who are all-natural storytellers. This initiative develops the skills of digital storytelling and provides a platform for the stories and perspectives of the oldest living culture in the world, to reach new audiences.”
