This first episode highlights the involvement of Griffith in the global phenomenon of WOW – or the Women of the World Festival which is coming to Brisbane’s Powerhouse fromApril 6-8.

Griffith lends a helping hand

Griffith University has sponsored the travel and enabled the participation of some of the speakers in this festival which celebrates the contribution of women throughout the Commonwealth. It’s the first time WOW has been held to coincide with a major event – The 2018 Commonwealth Games.

Listen to the amazing musical creations of Brisbane performer and DJ extraordinaire Busty Beatz who tells us about the show she’s part of called Hot Brown Honey. The show’s travelled around the world to sold out houses – and now returns to where it all began in Brisbane.

The podcast also features Griffith University Climate Change research scientist Esther Onyango.
