Castology acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of the nation and the traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work.
In light of the growing movement around the world against racism and bigotry we Castologists wanted to do what we can to raise the profile of some great titles, made by, for, and about poeple of colour in Australia and around the world. We welcome any further input of titles we should be listening to and hope you can enjoy the eight great podcasts we recommend in the (no-so) mini-sode!
Now is the time to make your voice heard! Go protest and stand with all people who are so unfairly treated around the world!

Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a Castologist? We, even if you haven’t you are about to get a brief window into the audition process we subjected Nick to before he could join our exulted ranks.
Zane threw him a curveball in this one, just to see how he would handle it. Listen at your own risk, as things get weird!
In this episode we talk about ‘Believed’ (which NIck has recommended on our regular episodes) and ‘Pounded In The Butt By My Own Podcast’ (which Zane had been hiding away for just such an opportunity).
