Ep. 2 Nanette Carroll

It’s been 5 years since RIW first aired. And I thought that it would be well worth dipping into the back catalogues every now and again for the benefit of those who may have started following recently.

Nanette Carroll was the 2nd ever interview…and one of the most popular episodes. And it’s easy to see why.

From unemployed, unqualified, single mum of 3, to joint CEO of a $320M company. If your obstacles seem insurmountable...you may find answers here.

Ep. 153

Rosemary Kariuki OAM

Rosemary Kariuki’s life is a testament to the enduring power of compassion, community, and the human spirit.

From the overwhelming challenges of her early life in Kenya to her celebrated role as a leader and advocate in Australia for migrant and refugee women.

Her journey is marked by hardship, courage, and an unwavering commitment to empowering others. Her story is documented in her memoir A Joyful Life and the acclaimed documentary Rosemary’s Way.

We often talk on this show of resilience, compassion and a dedication to others. And Rosemary’s journey from refugee to recognized national hero is a perfect example of that.

In 2021, she received the Australian of the Year, Australian Local Hero award.

Ep. 152. Dr Skye Krichauff

Dr. Skye Krichauff represents a new generation of Australian scholars who are fundamentally reshaping how we understand the complex relationships between Indigenous peoples and European settlers in colonial Australia.

As an ethno-historian affiliated with the University of Adelaide, Skye has dedicated her career to examining the enduring legacies of colonialism, particularly in South Australia, through a unique methodological approach that combines historical research with anthropological insights.

She is an ethno-historian who combines the methodologies of history and anthropology, bringing a distinctive interdisciplinary perspective to her research. This methodological fusion allows her to examine not only the documented historical record but also the lived experiences, cultural practices, and oral traditions that traditional historical approaches might overlook.

It's a fascinating discussion because the lack of Indigenous presence in this country’s written history – is being addressed by people like Dr Skye Krichauff.
