Where I Belong
Where I Belong inspires listeners to explore Brisbane through a patchwork of diverse stories, cultures, and perspectives. Each episode tells a story about a remarkable individual whose life and work is shaped by our city. Featuring writers, artists, performers and public figures, the podcast shares previously unheard stories about Brisbane and its people; who find purpose, make unexpected changes and celebrate the place – the landscape and its communities – where they belong. Their narratives traverse Brisbane’s broad reach – along the river, over the hills and out to the islands, offering new insights into shared experiences of this place. Where I Belong is proudly presented by Museum of Brisbane. Where I Belong starts on Thursday 8 July, with two episodes in your feed every fortnight. Where I Belong is written and produced on Turrabul and Yaggera land by Wendy Love. Museum of Brisbane acknowledges the Traditional Owners of this land and pays its respect to Elders past, present and emerging.

Can you put Kylie Minogue on the cover of a student-born street press magazine?
Sean Sennett thought so. Not afraid to stack superstars beside unsigned Brisbane obscurities, he built a trusting relationship with his readers over nearly 20 years as owner of Time Off magazine. In this episode, Sean explains how an aversion to laying bricks and the stock market crash of 1989 led him to co-owning Time Off at only 24 years old and how a run-in with Bruce Springsteen on Alice Street set his career in music journalism on a star-studded path.
