When Karina Hogan and Jenae Tien met while working at ABC Brisbane, they hit it off straight away despite their different backgrounds.
Little did they know, a few years later their joint project Bloodlines to Country, a podcast on the language and cultural heritage of the Yuggera people, would be winning awards.
In their podcast – made with love on a small budget – they yarn with Brisbane Yuggera Elder Aunty Kerry Charlton.
Aunty Kerry tells of the trials and tribulations her ancestors and family members faced while upholding their Aboriginal culture and language.
