Our Journey
Kirsten & Damian met through appearances on ABC radio shows where Damian was spruiking his regional tours. The relationship flourished when Damo agreed to host a trivia night at Kirsten’s local Hall, after Hugh Jackman knocked back the gig.
They’ve been eyeing each other across the bush dance floor for a while, waiting for the right song. Driven by a passion to ‘stick it’ to the larger towns and regional centres, they’ve joined forces to create the Town Criers podcast - focusing on the unique stories of small towns, that sometimes get overlooked.
