Welcome to Introducing Early Quakers, a podcast series presented by Silver Wattle Quaker Centre in New South Wales, Australia.

In this short trailer, Ann Zubrick introduces the series and shares how it emerged from a course at Silver Wattle in 2023. Queensland Friend Michael Corbett reflects on his experience compiling the stories of early Quakers — and the unexpected leading that brought them to life.

“I’ve never done anything like this before… A few minutes meditating and then just let my fingers type out what was coming.”

The first full episode, focusing on George Fox, will be released 5 October 2025, with new episodes on the 5th of each month through June 2026.
