Yarn Quest is a First Nations-led children’s podcast that brings to life big stories by little kids! Incorporating stories written by the Awesome Black team with stories submitted by our listeners aka Little Yarnies, Yarn Quest is a fully immersive, hilarious, expansive and sometimes gross (because, little kids) audio adventure for kids aged 4-10, and the grown ups who have to entertain them.
Hosted by Brooke Scobie, a queer Goorie single mum, writer, podcast host, and community worker and Uncle Mot, a Taungurung man passionate about the ocean, cooking and spinning big yarns, Yarn Quest is all about telling the stories kids want to tell.
Find the episodes below or on your podcast app. While you’re listening you can do one of the Yarn Quest activity packs, there is one for each episode that you can download, print out and colour in.
If you want to submit a story use the Yarn Quest Story Submission Form or email hello@awesomblack.org, send your story by letter to PO Box 276, Rutherford, NSW 2320
At Awesome Black we don’t like to talk about the deficit that First Nations people have gone through, we don’t like to talk about the history of government failures and the effects they have had on our communities. We recognise that they have happened, but we want to talk about what we can do right now to get things moving forward for us, by us.
At Awesome Black we are attempting to create a system where wealth stays in our communities and we can build up Blakenomics, supporting each other’s businesses and community. At every point when we buy something we think… can we buy this from a First Nations person, if the answer is yes we do it, if the answer is no… we ask more questions. Why not? And how do we make sure that we can in the future?
Awesome Black acknowledges the traditional owners across the lands on which we live and work.
Awesome Black is about First Nations, first in everything we do. A community of skilled creators are ready to collaborate. If you have an idea for a project get in touch.
