Vote Now for The Flying Doctor Podcast in the Australian Podcast Awards

If you weren’t already aware, the Royal Flying Doctor Service has its very own podcast, fittingly named The Flying Doctor Podcast. This podcast isn’t just about storytelling; it’s about capturing the remarkable experiences, challenges, and triumphs that define life in the Australian Outback. Hosted by Lana Mitchel and produced in collaboration with DM Podcasts, each weekly episode brings to life the voices of real patients, their families, and the incredible RFDS teams who work tirelessly to provide care where it’s needed most.

For instance, in Episode 103, 'Never Mess with a Mulga' Ben's paralysing tale had listeners on the edge of their seats. And then there’s Episode 81, where Dan Hamood was opal fossicking when he fell into a mineshaft—a story as thrilling as it is fascinating. These stories, and many more, have resonated deeply with our listeners, and the response we’ve received has been nothing short of amazing.

Now, we need your support. Voting for the 2024 Australian Podcast Awards is open—an event that celebrates the best in Australian podcasting. We would be thrilled if you could vote for The Flying Doctor Podcast.

The Flying Doctor Podcast relies on the stories of others—those who have lived through the highs and lows of life in the bush, and those who have witnessed the incredible work of the RFDS first-hand. If you’d like to share the story of your run-in with the RFDS on The Flying Doctor Podcast, we’d love to hear from you via email: podcast@rfds.org.au.

And if you haven’t had the chance to listen to the podcast yet, why not start now? With a new episode released every week, there’s always a new yarn to listen to.
