Podcasthon 2026 Special - Linda Widdup and Kevin Butler

Podcasthon 2026 Special - Linda Widdup and Kevin Butler

We are delighted to have been invited to participate in Podcasthon 2026 - a global initiative amongst podcasters across the world, where we dedicate an episode of our podcasts to promote a deserving not-for-profit organisation / charity. Since our last Podcasthon episode in 2025, we have discovered two amazing organisations that are doing amazing things in regional Australia, especially when times are their toughest. In this episode, Neil chats to Linda Widdup, the founder of Aussie Hay Runners (and the 2026 Australian Of The Year Victorian Local Hero) and Kevin Butler the founder of BlazeAid.
