    Rudi Bremer — On Stories

    Rudi Bremer is a Gamilaraay broadcaster, journalist, and the host and producer of AWAYE! on ABC Radio National, where she has spent years championing First Nations arts, culture, literature, music, and language. After beginning her career in community radio, Rudi developed a rare perspective on broadcasting — from producing interviews and documentaries to understanding the inner workings of Australia's national broadcaster. This episode of Staunch explores the craft and responsibility of First Nations journalism. Rudi and Travis unpack what makes a story worth telling, the difference between reporting and storytelling, and the quiet editorial decisions that shape how audiences come to understand culture. Moving well beyond the mechanics of journalism, this conversation reflects on curiosity, trust, language, criticism, and the role of public broadcasters in documenting First Nations creative life. It is a thoughtful discussion about who gets to tell stories, how they should be told, and why preserving complexity is more important than chasing certainty. Hosted by Travis De Vries.
