A podcast!

I’m a tad excited by this project.

Wearing my storyteller hat, I co-ordinate a storytelling group, Newport Storyteller, under the wings of the Newport Fiddle and Folk Club. We gather once a month, however during 2020 and with COVID 19 and the restrictions, our meetings have been on zoom.

A couple of us applied for a grant and took up the challenge of making something nice during lockdown.

We created a podcast - an audio patchwork of stories told and music harvested from recordings created by the people of Newport, their friends and members of the Newport Fiddle and Folk Club.

The Newport Storytellers podcast is a project created from the heart with my friends Matt McArthur, and Alan Davies using whatever methods worked on the day: phones, Zoom, USB mikes and tin cans and string.

The first episodes are available now, more are on the way. You can listen or download on the club website, and also find details of how to subscribe to the podcast. 

This listening adventure was supported by Hobsons Bay City City Council through its Quick Response Grants.

ENJOY!!
