We chat Australian YouTube pioneer and fellow Sydneysider Natalie Tran of Community Channel fame.

Natalie’s observational comedy propelled her to become the most popular Australian YouTuber and led to a career in Australian media.

But in 2016, Natalie left YouTube, only having uploaded twice since.

We discuss how a lot of her catalogue is privatised, our favourite videos and the legacy of Australia’s first YouTube star.
