Liz Recommends - Outback Stories

Extra Ordinary Outback Stories

https://www.extraordinarymediaco.com/listen-to-podcast

What makes an ordinary person extraordinary? Join regional journalists Lucy Samuels and Lucy Taylor as they fly across remote Australia, yarning to the unsung heroes of the bush. Walk alongside some of the unique characters that inhabit the backcountry, as we meet a world-renowned motocross rider turned goat chaser, a burns survivor with an unbreakable spirit, and a bush dressmaker that can make all of your wedding day dreams come true... plus so many more. Buckle in!

Releases weekly with some bonus eps. 20-30 mins long. Called Outback Stories on search but the cover art says ExtraOrdinary Outback stories and the extraordinary is larger than the writing but anyway.

For both: I really liked the Jamie Manning ep.

Nick Recommends - Ordineroli Speaking

A show that speaks to Australia’s biggest sports stars about their careers but also the personal side of being at the peak of your game.

For both; take a pick. Nat Medhurst ep is great
