Shifting Subjects is a new podcast series telling stories from and about Asian Australian life, with each episode a self-contained documentary in itself. ArtsHub reached out to its creator, journalist and radio producer Lisa Divissi, to find out more about this initiative – a partnership between Liminal (an anti-racist literary platform with a focus on the Asian Australian experience) and Broadwave (a curated network of Australian podcasts telling community-driven stories).
‘I’ve had feedback that people were pleasantly surprised to find that Shifting Subjects was not the usual “podcast s**t”, which made me laugh, even though I’m a big podcast listener myself. I think what they meant is that it isn’t formulaic or made to be consumed and forgotten.’
