Soup Kitchens

“And there are these people that have so little and want to stop and ask how your day is and make sure you're doing okay and that's changed my view of the world”.

Lindsay has given up every Saturday for years working in a hot kitchen in Brisbane, preparing hundreds of hot and hearty meals to take to those who need it.

Through Lindsay and the other volunteers at Dig In, I got to experience the joy of giving.

I also explored the issue of the financial crisis and food waste in Australia.

About the Podcast

Towards Connection

I'm willing to take risks and get uncomfortable in an Australia-wide search for what brings people meaning and connection.

Do you have enough connection and meaning in your life? What does this even mean and why does it matter?

Follow me – Kai, on a camping trip around Australia, meeting people who have found meaning and connection in their life.

Learn how they discovered it, how it has changed their life and why it is so powerful.

Then, join me as I try their activity out for myself, throwing myself into it with genuine curiosity and unbridled effort in an attempt to bring more meaning and connection into my life… who knows, maybe you’ll be inspired to try something new yourself.

About your host

Kai Noonan

Towards Connection is my first (and so far only) podcast. It was a bit of an experiment, an adventure and remains a passion project.

My professional background is in social services, specialising in sexual, domestic and family violence. I didn't get into this work to help people, I got into it because I find people fascinating. Especially in their darkest hours.

I believe we all just fumble through life doing the best we can with whatever experiences and resources we have. I also believe that everyone has a story to tell, and I want to hear those stories.
