WEBVTT - Introducing... Find and Tell

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Hello. I'm Jamilla Risby. I've been a journalist for oh god,

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>too long, maybe ten years now, But growing up as

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 1>an Indian Australian, I heard and I read and I

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:16.479
<v Speaker 1>watched stories being told by people who didn't look like me,

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:21.240
<v Speaker 1>whose experiences weren't like mine. Whether it's our first people's

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>or our most recent arrivals, Australia is full of diverse storytellers. Enter,

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:32.200
<v Speaker 1>find and tell. This is the search for the next

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>generation of Australian storytellers. Think of it like one of

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>those Reality TV singing competitions, just without the songs and

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the spinning chairs. We put out the word to unearth

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>the best this country has to offer. Aspiring newsbreakers, laugh makers, commentators,

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>you name it, and people from all walks of life

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 1>answered the call. All right, Kulay one named b I

0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>am Kate. I am Iranian Australian. Come Mike. My name

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>is Nan and my background is Kareem. I come from

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a culture that weaves tales through food, through song. Hel't

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:14.199
<v Speaker 1>believe something like this has been made for emerging diverse talent.

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 1>I want someone who's listening to a story that I

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>come up with to feel like they're just sitting on

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the couch having a cup of tea. I'd love to

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>be able to use some cultural aspects and tell some

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Indigenous stories as well. We whittled it down to the

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>final four, flew them into iHeart HQ and gave them

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>a crash course in podcasting before setting them free to

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 1>find and tell the best stories this country has to offer.

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:41.960
<v Speaker 1>And now they're ready to go. Each episode our storytellers

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>will be given a theme. Then they'll go head to

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 1>head to find and tell the best story, and whoever

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>does it best will be crowned the find and Tell Champion.

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>So if you love listening to stories that are funny, emotional,

0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>or make you think, then you are in the right

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>place us on the search for the next generation of

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:06.160
