Escape from Kabul by David Thom 

Escape from Kabul tells the haunting story of refugee Zaki Haidari’s escape from the Taliban and journey to Australia. After his father is killed by the Taliban, Zaki is forced to flee for his life. He is smuggled through jungles and across open seas. His story is one of perseverance, hope and survival against all odds. 

Produced by David Thom 
Featuring: Zaki Haidari

This story was produced as part of a podcasting unit at the University of Sydney. Special thanks to Lea Redfern. 

 

 

Aitu by Oliver Coulter, read by Christopher Alosio 

 

A young man of Samoan heritage is driving along a Northern Territory highway carrying special cargo. It's a road story that's both spiritual and darkly funny, and is about the importance of knowing your culture. In Polynesian languages, the word 'aitu' refers to ghosts or spirits.
