Melanated in Melbourne: Live
Melanated in Melbourne chronicles the lives of co-hosts Nicole and Ri'chard, two Black Americans living in Australia, as they navigate what it means to be a person of colour in the great down under. A delightful mix of insight and humour, the podcast explores working abroad, Australian lingo, racism, culture shock, identity, heartbreak and more. Melanated in Melbourne intentionally amplifies the voices of historically disenfranchised individuals by primarily having LGBTIQA+ people of color, both local and international, come on the show to share their unique stories, with guests ranging from psychologists to drag queens. While this podcast was created to inform, entertain and inspire Americans of Colour, Australians and people from around the world have caught on and loved the content - and that's what makes the podcast so special: Melanated in Melbourne appeals to the human experience, regardless of origin or ethnicity. Most people can relate to the difficulty of building and maintaining friendships as adults, navigating love and the search for purpose, so they tune in for a laugh, an "aha" moment, and sometimes a good cry. Nicole and Ri'chard's dream is that this podcast will continue to educate others on the Aussie lifestyle and even encourage them to push past their comfort zones and try something similar. To commemorate the launch of the third season of their show, the Melanated in Melbourne team are planning to host a live podcast during Black History Month and Midsumma. This event is intended to showcase the diverse talents of some of the guests they've had on the show, engage with current listeners and broaden the podcast's reach to share their intersectional stories with the broader Victorian community.
