About weareGRIOT

Griot (pronounced GREE-oh) are, broadly speaking, west African storytellers who for centuries have kept the oral histories of their communities alive through song, poetry, dance and various other forms of communication. Just like the traditional Griots, our Melbourne-based production company encompasses many forms of storytelling - through various mediums and formats. Our aim is to tell inspiring stories that reflect and explore the socio-cultural dynamics of the world we live in through innovative and engaging ways.

Babe n Brilliant Ep 10: Jenna Wortham

Jenna Wortham is many things - but she’s primarily known for her work as a writer for the NY Times. There she writes mainly about technology and culture. Prior to the Times, Jenna was a tech and culture reporter for Wired.com and a freelance writer for Wired magazine. Her work has also appeared in Bust magazine, The Hairpin, Vogue, The Morning News, Fader and various other publications. She is also the queen of side hustles. From starting a zine celebrating women she admired, aptly titled GirlCrushZine to helping curate an Emoji Art show to co-histing a radio show called Heartline to a series about Sexting in the age of technology. There’s nothing Jenna isn’t keen to explore in the digital realm. Artwork by Tegan Iversen www.teganiversen.com Copyright wearegriot.com

Babe n Brilliant Ep 9: Ajak Deng

Ajak Deng is one of Australia’s most successful international runway models. She’s graced the covers of many magazines including fashion bible Vogue and walked for every major designer from Chloe to Valentino and every one in between. The 25 year old was born in what was then part of Sudan and is today known as South Sudan. She was forced to flee the conflict there and ended up in Kenya before migrating to Australia with her family. But there’s much more to her story than that. She’s also quite the thrill seeker and hilarious too. But despite dominating runways overseas and headlining major fashion campaigns, she’s still relatively unknown here in Australia.

Babe n Brilliant Ep 8: Yassmin Abdel-Magied

There’s very little that Yassmin Abdel-Magied hasn’t done yet. She was named Queensland's Young Australian of the Year for 2015. She’s a mechanical engineer, writer, social advocate, and a self-described petrol head. At 16, she set up her own not for profit organisation Youth Without Borders – which aims to improve access to opportunity and enable young people to work for positive change in their communities. She’s been named one of Australia’s most influential women, writes for various publications, shakes things up on the ABC’s popular Q&A program and regularly speaks around the country inspiring other young people to live life fully and with purpose. She literally is the definition of an over achiever – in the best way possible, and the world is certainly a better place because of her enthusiasm when tackling some of the most challenging questions in our community. And by the far has one of the coolest jobs in the world – working as an engineer on an offshore oil and gas rig. She’s as bad ass as they come.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
