If you've ever wondered how kava went from being banned in some countries to trendy in others, why your aunties' traditional medicines worked so well or how the heck canned beef became a delicacy, join Seiuli Salamasina von Reiche on Culture Compass, a brand-new show from ABC Radio Australia. 

It's an exploration of survival, revival and connection throughout the Pacific as we examine our cultures from the very beginning, right through to where they're at today. 

And we might even take a peek at what's around the corner. 

You can hear Culture Compass on ABC Radio Australia, or you can find us anytime on the ABC Pacific website or your favourite podcast app.
