Episode 120: Indigenous Educator with Cassie Leatham

Welcome to Kids Pod, a podcast where kids get to ask adults the questions they really want to know. Nothing is too rude to ask. You send in the questions and our adults will give kids the answers they want to hear. Did you know that although Kids Pod is produced and edited in what we might call regional New South Wales in Australia, before we used those names this was first Wiradjuri land. And it still is today. Cassie Leatham is a First Nations artist and educator and her people come from the Kulin Nation. Today to Kids Pod she is going to tell us a bit about what it's like to be an Indigenous Australian.  *If you would like to support Kids Pod to allow us to make even more episodes, you can make a one-off donation for as low as $5 at ko-fi.com/kidspod.
