Thanks for listening in for our Third ever show, and our first themed show- it’s on Tradition
Today, we interviewed James Locksmith about his tradition- he’s Greek and he follows Greek Orthodox traditions, although for him, it’s about the culture, not the religion.
Here’s some more info on traditions and recipes from Greek Orthodox Easter
We also listened to Alex White’s fascinating story on Marrickville’s Sierra Leonian community- keeping their traditions alive through song.
They are supported by the Marrickville Metro Migrant Resource Centre
Emily Farrell gave us a story on the tradition of Pet Funerals
... and Eliza discussed equality in marriage and parenthood in untraditional families.
More info Here.

today:
We checked in with Il Porcellino, Sydney's luckiest statue outside the Sydney Hospital.

Julia Thomas checked in with LJ Hill, an indigenous singer songwriter from Armidale who was picked up by band The Swell Season to play with them at the Opera House.

Thanks for listening in for our Third ever show, and our first themed show- it’s on Tradition
Today, we interviewed James Locksmith about his tradition- he’s Greek and he follows Greek Orthodox traditions, although for him, it’s about the culture, not the religion.
Here’s some more info on traditions and recipes from Greek Orthodox Easter
We also listened to Alex White’s fascinating story on Marrickville’s Sierra Leonian community- keeping their traditions alive through song.
They are supported by the Marrickville Metro Migrant Resource Centre
Emily Farrell gave us a story on the tradition of Pet Funerals
... and Eliza discussed equality in marriage and parenthood in untraditional families.
More info Here.
Last of all, we listened to another fiction piece by our regular contributor Vanessa Berry- if you’d like more, why not follow her on Twitter
Until Next Time!
