Outback Outloud.
Unique perspectives, 100% unscripted, and are the greatest stories never told.
Outback Outloud is a community podcast and oral history recording project by Outback Arts, delivered in partnership with Signal Creative.
The major outcome of Outback Outloud is a fully developed podcast series available on all major listening platforms. All community members are encouraged to come along and record their stories. These recordings are unique perspectives, 100% unscripted, and are the greatest stories never told.
This project also involves free community workshop sessions where attendees learn to use accessible tools to record their own stories and interview others in their community.
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.
Interviews will be recorded from right across the Outback Arts region, with the second season now completed, the project continues to evolve in 2024.
Outback Outloud is a project brought to you by Outback Arts and Signal Creative. 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.
