Episode One: Introducing the reMAKERS
‘What is our yes?’
Welcome to The reMAKERS, a podcast about the best version of us and how we build it. Would you ever run for office? Drink beer from a shoe? Is Twitter an amazing universe where you can listen generously and learn new things; or a place where kindness goes to die?
For our inaugural episode, Lily and Millie talk about some of the important and weirdly human things that go into reMAKING: including vision, collective ambition, community and listening to people we don’t always like, but fall a little bit in love with anyway.
The reMAKERS is recorded on Darug Country and we celebrate the Traditional Custodians of these lands and waters, honouring Elders past and present.
