In the first episode of Wowee! Podcast, Penny and Esther successfully navigate the recording bunker and their microphones and go on to discuss the purpose behind Wowee, their current inspirations and talk shop about life and work.

EPISODE 1 - Meet the Hosts: Esther & Penny

Wowee! is a Melbourne based podcast that hopes to bring together creative communities and promote the sharing of ideas, skills and experiences in a supportive space.

In each episode, hosts Penny and Esther grab their conversation shovels and dig it deep with a variety of different local designers, artists and musicians. You'll get to know the person behind the talent - their inspirations, work process and day-to-day life, while touching on their family history, personal struggles and life philosophies. More than just a podcast, Wowee! aims to inspire, encourage and bolster creativity in all its forms.

Wowee! is recorded and produced by Jono Gilmour. Thanks to Pappy for providing their song 'Snacks' as our intro music.
