Welcome to Brown Riot podcast. This podcast is all about what it means and what it takes to be successful in advertising when you’re from a different ethnic or socio-economic background to the majority. In each episode, Ant Melder speaks to a creative industry leader from an interesting cultural background. It’s a celebration of diversity that offers inspiration, insight and some super cool role models. Not all guests are strictly ‘brown’ but they are all pretty awesome. All episodes are recorded in Smith & Western’s dedicated podcasting studio in Redfern, Sydney. As was the Brown Riot theme music, which was composed and recorded by Smith & Western and features throughout the podcasts.
