Closer to Home Podcast

Jo Taranto - a girl from the bush who fell for the 'burbs - and Josh Kirkman - a lifelong surfer and coastie - have spent their lives staring at completely different horizons. On the surface, Australia seems defined by its vast contrasts: endless coastlines, red dirt, bustling cities, and suburban sprawl. But when you look a little closer? There are small towns tackling big problems - inspiring human stories that remind us how connected we all really are.
Join Jo and Josh as they hit the road to explore unfamiliar places and meet the unforgettable everyday Australians quietly reshaping their communities. From rural paddocks to coastal beaches, Closer to Home uncovers the clever local solutions that prove a brilliant idea in one postcode can spark action in the next.
