About this listen

 A podcast about Canberrans, for Canberrans. During his time working with Questacon and ABC Radio, Henry Xu met and chatted to some of the best the Nation's Capital has to offer. Now, he's ready to showcase them all. Through 20-30 minute interviews, Henry has conversations with a plethora of Canberrans- from life stories with Australian of the Year winners like Val Dempsey, to career retrospectives with cultural icons like Tim the Yowie Man. Recorded throughout the city, in locations relevant to his guests, this podcast allows the people of Canberra a chance to learn more about the town they live in and adore.Copyright 2025 Henry Xu Art Social Sciences
