Inner West Icons is an indie podcast made by me about the local, grassroots history and community stories of inner west Sydney, first published in May 2022.
It won Best History Podcast at the 2023 Australian Podcast Awards.
The podcast uses archive, oral history, interviews, vox pops, music and sound to tell the story and history of an iconic thing or place in Sydney’s inner western suburbs of Marrickville, Petersham, Dulwich Hill, Lilyfield, Balmain, Leichhardt, Sydenham, Newtown and Annandale.
It’s immersive and playful storytelling.
Inner West Icons is made with support by Inner West Council’s Community History and Heritage grant.
