Episode title: Overdue: Jean (English)

Presenter/Co-producer: Jean

Jean is a Mandarin bicultural liaison officer for Yarra City Council and a fitness instructor with Yarra Leisure Centres where movement and communal activities have been vital during the pandemic. Jean explains how relationships, trust, and rapport with elderly speakers of various Chinese languages in exercise classes allowed her to have less judgemental conversations around health and the vaccine, as well as helping to bridge the digital divide.

У овој епизоди слушамо три генерације српскo аустралијске породице како размишљају о томе како су српски плес и фолклор били начин да Савкини ђаци одрже културу, морал и повезаност на локалном и међународном нивоу током пандемије. Такође слушамо о искуству баке Смиље у приступу услугама вакцинацији и о Милановој улози као службеника за корона висур у српској заједници.

Подкаст библиотеке Месне Заједнице Јаре је направљен за културолошку и језичку различитост заједнице у МЗ Јара на више језика.

Пандемија короне вируса је успорила комуникацију. Овај подкаст даје простор члановима заједнице да поделе своје личне увиде и искуства. Пандемија нам је показала да приступ који одговара свима не функционише и разоткрила недостатак културолошки одговарајуће подршке владе за ову заједницу.

Подкаст библиотеке МЗ Јаре позива на додатну подршку како би се помогло у одређивању и заједничком креирању решења заснованих на заједници за текуће изазове.

Овај подкаст копродуцирају чланови заједнице из различитих МЗ Јара пројеката и организација које ради са Јара библиотеком на подизању свести о размени података о ковид-у и одговорима у заједници.

Овај подкаст објављује и продуцира библиотека Јара, а подржава га Радна група Одељења за породице, праведност и смештај мултикултуралних заједница.

Program/Episode title: Overdue: Yarra Youth Workers (English)

Presenter: Agum

Guests: Alfia and Eyerusalem

Language: English

How do you support members of multicultural communities who speak English as an additional language (or not at all) during a pandemic? It’s a question many of us may wonder. And it’s a question we try to get answers to.

Alfia speaks Oromo, Arabic, French and English; and Eyerusalem speaks Amharic, Tigrinya, and English. They both started working as City of Yarra Bicultural Liaison Officers (BLOs) last year with Yarra Libraries outreach and other local services, helping out with food programs, vaccine certificates, and vaccine pop-up clinics.

Join them in conversation with Agum as they share what they learned about the importance of community representation, and how their skills have led to further employment opportunities with Yarra Youth Services and beyond.

"The purest way that I could write about being trans was to make it a bit magic. Because I think when you find understanding of yourself and also see that reflected in others, that is just really special, so comforting and really necessary. I think when you’re a trans person existing in this world you have to have people who understand who you are, otherwise it can make you feel like you’re not real." - Alison Evans

In this Trans Day of Remembrance episode of the Yarra Libraries podcast, Alison Evans discusses writing their book Euphoria Kids with Librarian Aandi, before recommending their favourite representations of gender euphoria and trans identity in fiction and non-fiction from the Yarra Libraries Collection.

Alison Evans is the award-winning author of the queer YA books Ida, Highway Bodies, and Euphoria Kids. Alison is a contributor in Kindred: 12 Queer #LoveOzYA Stories, co-edits the zine Concrete Queers and is the fiction editor for #enbylife. They are based on Wurundjeri Land/Melbourne, Australia.

You can find Alison Evans’ work at branches of Yarra Libraries as well as in our digital collections. You can also find lists of some of our favourite stories from trans and gender diverse authors through our list in the Yarra Libraries catalogue and our shelves in Cloud Library and Borrowbox.

“Realistic fiction, set in the present, that ignores climate is like ignoring the internet. It's no longer realistic.” – Briohny Doyle

In this podcast, Briohny Doyle, her writing career, living in the age of climate catastrophe and her latest novel, Echolalia.

Briohny Doyle’s debut novel, The Island Will Sink, was set in a not-too-distant future on the brink of collapse, where catastrophe is the most popular form of entertainment. Briohny then followed this up with her second book, Adult Fantasy, a personal essay and cultural critique about turning 30 in a world of economic uncertainty, political conservatism, and precarious employment conditions.

Her latest book, Echolalia is about a family in the lead up to and aftermath of a tragedy. It’s a literary novel that experiments with the tropes and pacing of a domestic thriller. Set in the fictionalised rural centre of Shorehaven, and focalised through characters at crossroads and thresholds, the story poses complex questions about the roles of women, particularly mothers, about class and status, about environmental degradation, responsibility, and legacy. And it's one of the best books by an Australian author this year.

This podcast was supported by The Ewing Trust.

Echolalia is able to be borrowed from Yarra Libraries, as well as being available to buy at all good book stores.
