This is a pretty big deep dive into one of my favourite topics: podcasting in rural Australia. Kirsten Diprose and I have the same vocation. We make podcasts from rural Australia, focused on stories from rural Australia. The difference is that Kirsten was originally a city girl - who now lives on a sheep, cattle, cropping and even dairy farm with her husband and two boys - so she's not used to the nuances of rural life in the same way that I am. It's this curiosity that's sparked a whole new business for Kirsten: the Rural Podcasting Co and also a PHD looking deep into rural journalism, podcasting and conversations in our communities. To add - she's actually living her best life at the moment travelling around Australia in a caravan...... and so naturally that's where we started our chat. Company is produced in partnership with Rabobank Australia.
