Episode 7 - In Our Own Backyard (Uni of Melbourne)

08/24/21 • 27 min

This episode by journalism students at the University of Melbourne goes 'hyperlocal' with stories, somewhat appropriately, from their own backyard, where most us have spent time in lockdown this year.
You'll hear about the plight of those relying on food banks through the pandemic, the conservation of culture and history - sometimes against the push for progress - as well as the debate around animal rights and the environment.
The stories are diverse and so are the locations. The team take us around Melbourne, into rural Victoria and hyperlocal in the provinces of China.
