🎵 Shoutout to Seb Whitaker for composing our theme music.

💛 Broadly Relevant is recorded on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nations, and we met and grew up together on the land of the Kombumerri people, part of the Yugambeh Language Group. We acknowledge and pay our respects to Yugambeh and Kulin elders past and present, and extend that respect to first nations listeners. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Simran is going to hate the title I gave this episode but I really do hope that you, dear reader, love it — Ryan
