Pridefinder – The Rainbow Road Trip was a travelling podcast project commissioned during the 2023 Midsumma Festival as part of the State Government’s initiative, Victoria’s Pride. Helene Thomas; an award winning creative audio producer, journalist, and queer ally, developed a mobile story studio with the purpose of encouraging connection, cultivating empathy and preserving peoples experiences. As much of Victoria’s queer history relies on verbal recount, Midsumma, Helene and the Pridefinder connected with regionally living LGBTQIA+ Victorians to help capture their unique stories. Throughout this series you will hear first-hand, the successes, hopes, dreams, fears and struggles of diverse members of the community.
