This episode marks the start of a series of conversations with Greg from Didgeridoo Passion. On Wakademy, I mainly talk about the didgeridoo (quite logically!) but not much about Aboriginal culture, because I’m far from being an expert in this field.
That’s why I asked Greg to come and answer my questions in a series of podcasts on this theme. Greg isn’t an expert (or is he?) but he wants to share his experience and knowledge of this culture he’s passionate about, so that we at least know its foundations.
In this first episode, we lay the groundwork by starting with an introduction to Aboriginal culture before the arrival of the settlers.
