Arc Up Australia!
Two oral historians with the same face and super similar voices investigate what it means to be Australian. Vox pop, candid conversations and interviews set the record straight on the past, the present, the places and the politics that shape who the Australians are and what they could be.
Arc Up Australia! is presented by Katrina Lolicato and Gracie Lolicato and made in the northern suburbs of Melbourne.
