Series 1 - now streaming!
Emma Hoy and Caroline Wallace directors of Signal Creative visited Walgett, Brewarrina, Bourke and Cobar hosting listening parties, celebrating the launch of their collaborative project with Outback Arts, the Outback Outloud podcast. This project has collected over 100 interviews from the Outback Arts region.
These are completely unique perspectives, 100% unscripted, and are the greatest stories never told.
You can listen to the Outback Outloud podcast series across a range of Podcast Applications including Apple Podcasts and Spotify!
The early response to the podcast has been extremely heart-warming. Hearing local stories in this format has brought many listeners nearly to tears as they beam with pride. Outback Outloud will strengthen connections between people, teach the value of listening to each other and will promote a greater understanding that everyone’s story matters.
Just a couple of months ago Emma and Caroline visited the region holding free workshops where community members could learn how to interview, record and preserve stories. This was a great do-it-yourself opportunity where many attendees learnt new skills that can continue to be passed on to others. The second aspect of this earlier trip was the community storybooth. This was where the Outback Outloud podcast was captured. All were welcome to turn up, have a cuppa and share their story.
This is series one of the Outback Outloud project. The second series will capture Bogan, Warren and Coonamble Shires, covering the entire Outback Arts region.
Outback Outloud is a project brought to you by Outback Arts and Signal Creative. Outback Arts provide the region with a diverse range of creative workshops and professional development opportunities, as well as major projects catering to the specific needs of their communities. Signal Creative focuses on multi-artforms and storytelling where participants are free to lead their own creative direction and are supported to exhibit or present in public. Signal Creative’s directors Emma Hoy and Caroline Wallace have been facilitating and leading this project. Outback Arts and Signal Creative are very excited to launch the podcast project Outback Outloud that has been brewing for a little while now.
