    Welcome to BRAVE, a podcast from the Townsville Community Information Centre.

    Michael Prien knows what it's like to be doubted and ruled out. He also knows that, sometimes, the only thing a person needs is a chance. That's exactly what he's trying to do with his electrical contracting business CBD Electrical, where he is dedicated to taking on Indigenous apprentices to help built a brighter future. He's passionate about young people, the future, culture, and ensuring high standards of quality, and all of that comes through in this episode.

    2021/12/15

    Welcome to BRAVE, a podcast from the Townsville Community Information Centre.

    Schools have been among the most visible social victims of the pandemic, with their closures making national news and affecting almost every family on some level. In this episode of Brave, we speak to a School Principal, Candi Dempster from Ryan Catholic College in Townsville, about the processes of supporting students and young people through unprecedented times. Candi is only a recent arrival from Charters Towers, however, so we also talk about some of the differences in life, support services, and resourcing between cities and regional areas.

    Candi's story is just one of the many from our local community that we hope will inspire you.

  • Rosie & Adele Archer - Almost A Century of Stories
    2021/12/01

    Welcome to BRAVE, a podcast from the Townsville Community Information Centre.

    At almost 100 years old, Rosie Archer has a treasure trove of tales about life in remote communities tucked away in the recesses of her mind. The ones captured in this episode about growing up during the war years and supporting the community through various avenues surely make up only a tiny fraction. Rosie is fiercely independent, still living at home, so we also speak with her and her daughter Adele about why that's important, especially in remote communities.

    Rosie and Adele's story is just one of the many from our local communities that we hope will inspire you.
