CARIBBEAN ECHOES
🎤 A six-part narrative podcast series that delves into the
overlooked stories of Caribbean people in Australia

Producers Ben Etherington & Sienna Brown
Caribbean Echoes has been in the works since 2020. Ben commissioned me to write a podcast script based on the research I did for my novel, Master of My Fate - the result was Caribbean Convicts and an ABC Radio National, History Listen airdate. Fast forward to 2024 and under the auspices of an ARC grant we developed and produced Caribbean Echoes for Impact Studios', History Lab Series.
​
My contribution has been all encompassing: to research, write, interview, audition & direct actors, narrate, record & edit, while choosing the music. I'm particularly proud of the fictional recreation monologues in Ep 1 & 3 where the actors inhabit the thoughts and feelings of Peter Jackson and Nellie Small.
