Daltabyo (Nostalgia)

Told from the view of five Somalis now in Australia, our first story illustrates the diversity in Somali diaspora. By sharing unique migration journeys and relationships to heritage, it’s a reminder that people from the same cultural background are not a homogeneous entity.

Produced by Najma Sambul. Supervising producer Karishma Luthria.

I’ll Dink You Home

Then, Miks speaks with his late father Ken who was diagnosed with dementia. Together they explore the lasting impacts of memories from childhood and how sometimes the smallest stories have the most impact, as they shape and live on through family.

Produced by Michael Everitt.
