Not From Here
A podcast that’s all about the experience of being from somewhere else, but calling Australia home. Join me as I explore the stories of immigrants who’ve grown up here, recent migrants, expats, or anyone who lives in Australia but feels an affinity with another culture or country.

Dying and culture: how death customs and rituals affect how we think about life
•
Esha Thaper
The way you feel about death often depends on your dominant culture. In this episode, I chat to Holly Rankin Smith, who works at the Groundswell Project, an organisation that aims to increase death literacy in Australia. Ironically, I felt so alive after this conversation, where we talk about how Australians deal with death, what we can learn from other cultures, and how we can learn to talk more openly about the only certainty in life.
