The Yarra Libraries Overdue podcast is produced by and for culturally and linguistically diverse communities in the City of Yarra in multiple languages.

The Covid-19 pandemic has kickstarted many overdue conversations. This podcast makes space for community members to share their personal insights and experiences. The pandemic has shown us that a one size fits all approach doesn’t work, and exposed a lack of culturally appropriate government support for these communities.

The Yarra Libraries Overdue podcast calls for more support to help determine and co-create community based solutions to ongoing challenges. This podcast is co-produced by community members from different Yarra projects and organisations working with Yarra Libraries to raise awareness around covid messaging and community-based responses.

Overdue is facilitated and produced by Yarra Libraries, and supported by the Victorian Government through the Priority Response to Multicultural Communities during Coronavirus (PRMC) program.
