Women of Wynnum Manly
Women of Wynnum Manly is a fortnightly podcast that dives into the stories behind the women who contribute to the proud sense of community that is a piece of paradise in Brisbane’s bayside. Allana has lived in Wynnum with her husband, dog, cat and (sometimes) granddog since 2016. She fell in love with the stunning sunrises, gets excited by a good bargain in the op shops, and enjoys the easy nature and friendliness of the local people. Feeling like the Wynnum area is in a transition stage, with an eclectic mix of old and new, Allana wants to dig deeper into the incredible women who are part of the community she loves. The Traditional Owners of the Wynnum Manly area are the Quandamooka People. They have lived on the lands and seas surrounding Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) for at least 21,000 years.

Episode 12 - Trish and Tracy from Are You Dying to Know?
Tracy is a mortician and Trish is a former journalist, and together they have a unique blend of skills and experiences. They are great friends, who decided to use their knowledge to create a YouTube channel (Are You Dying To Know) to educate people about what happens to loved ones once they die. They have over 10, 000 subscribers from all over the world.
I don't think we talk about death and dying as much as we should in our Australian culture, and this chat taught me a lot about the respectful and compassionate way people who die are treated in a funeral home. Knowing that people like Tracy do what they do provides a sense of comfort and an awareness that things have changed, for the better.
Apart from hearing about www.aydtk.com, Trish and Tracy are just great company, with a genuine respect and fondness for each other.
