We all have fights that we choose, but there are some who are born fighting. Fighting to be heard, fighting to be seen, fighting for the right to exist in public space where the odds are all stacked against you.

Contact Mic returns with an episode about history, culture, privilege and pride.

Episode 8 - August 2016 - Trackies & Taxis - This Month in Your World - Maurial Spearim

Being a thirteen-year old Indian neoclassical dancer involves a lot of sacrifice. It takes your mornings, your evenings, your weekends. It takes you away from your family. It takes focus, pain, concentration. But it gives, too. It gives strength, precision, a way for young women to process sexuality and passion. It gives community. And it gives something sacred: a place where men cannot enter. A place away from abuse. Contact Mic returns with an episode about being frozen by fear and learning to move again.

Episode 16  - Snake in the Water.

Imagine you're driving along a freeway at 200 kilometres an hour in heavy rain. You can't see a thing. Now, imagine that you have what feels like two toilet paper rolls strapped to your eyes. Also, you're in a helicopter, flying just above treetops, in the dark. Welcome to the Australian Army.

Contact Mic returns with an episode about the freedom of flight, the restriction of rules and the power of duty.
