Well, today’s episode is all wow, all the time! It’s WowFest! A countdown of five amazing stories this year that made you go ‘wow’.
It’s almost the end of the year, so we’re looking back at five of our favourite good news stories from 2023.
On the show today, we’ll zip along with a rural postie doing lovely things for her community. We’ll hear about how artificial intelligence is helping an Aussie icon, and join some high school students on their regular visit to an aged care home. Our next stop is in the centre of Australia, where we’ll learn about a new orchard bringing lemons and longevity to a remote community, before burrowing deep underground for our Wow of the Week.
I’ve got five fantastic stories for you today, the first of which is about an Aussie gymnast making a name for herself, literally. Then, we’ll meet a benevolent barber making a difference in his community. After that, it’s off to the moon! To meet Australia’s first moon rover. Speaking of Australian firsts, we’ll then learn about a new Indigenous podcast network. Then finally, it’s time for the Wow of the Week.
On today’s episode, we’re celebrating World Children’s Day! Then, we’ll head to a beach in Victoria to inspect some fossilised footprints. We’ll take to the skies with one of Australia’s awesome female pilots, then touch down in the Northern Territory for a quick game of basketball. After that, it’s time for an all-spinning, all-dancing Wow of the Week.
On the show this week, we’ll round up some sheep with Australia’s best working dog, and meet a dressmaker using unexpected materials to make beautiful gowns. We’ll hear about some more soccer success for Aussie athletes, and meet a quick-thinking teen who helped save a mates life. After that, it’s time for a not quite out-of-this-world Wow of the Week.
On the show this week, we’ll meet the scientists working to save Australia’s loneliest tree. We’ll kick the ball around with some soccer superstars, before bouncing over to hear about a joey with a special new tail. Then, it’s off to Berrigan in New South Wales, to say hello to their new mayor. After that, it’s time for a wow of the week about a prehistoric Aussie animal.
On today’s show, I’ve got five stories teed up that all share a letter in common… we’ll meet a tortoise looking for his forever home, before travelling to Fiji for a netball carnival. We’ll hear the clickitty clacks of typewriters being used by teens, and meet the young Indigenous filmmaker behind Towney Time. After that, it’s time for an out-of-this-world Wow of the Week.
