Stories From A Strange Country

society, culture · EN-AU

Welcome to Stories from a Strange Country, a podcast about Australian identity. I’m your host Jasmine Wolfe. Each episode, through the lens of what our culture has produced, such as an Australian film, literature, art, and music to ask how this country has imagined itself, and who has been conveniently left out of the portrait. This is not a search for one neat national identity. Mercifully, no such thing exists. Instead, we’ll read the mess: the stories, images, songs, and screen myths that make Australia feel familiar, strange, beautiful, brutal, and faintly ridiculous.
