Heckin’ Concerned Media is growing into a podcast production studio that makes podcasts by creators from CALD communities and marginalised communities that are underrepresented in our media. We are on a mission to make Australia’s media landscape truly representative of our diversity.
We’re conducting a podcast listener survey to understand what our listeners feel about diversity representation in the media, and to learn more about their podcast listening habits so we can give them content they really care about.
Your voice matters to us!
Clicking on the button above will take you to a Google Form with 11 questions. Some questions are about you, and some are about your podcast listening preferences. All questions are optional.
