The Aussie Singer Who Wants To Introduce Kids to First Nations Culture

The lovely Holly Wainwright joins Tegan in the studio this week to interview singer, writer and activist Isaiah Firebrace. 

He joins us on the show to talk about his new children's book 'Come Together: Things Every Aussie Kid Should Know about the First Peoples". Holly and Tegan both found it a really beautiful starting point for introducing kids to First Nations culture and stories. 

This week in nailed and failed - Tegan figures out how to make the Christmas presents last all year and Holly struggles with her no-phones-at-night rule at home.
