Here's a special compilation of highlights from the 2019 Communities in Control conference, recorded by conference convenors Our Community and produced for radio, and reproduced here with permission, by Community Radio Network. In this package, we'll hear from Mariam Veiszadeh and David Manne.

There’s a powerful conversation happening in towns and suburbs across Australia, driven by people who are rolling up their sleeves to make real change. Communities in Control captures that energy and brings it directly to you. Born from a vibrant social movement that gathers hundreds of community sector workers, volunteers, and supporters each year, this podcast extends the dialogue far beyond the conference room. You’ll hear from the organizers, advocates, and everyday citizens who are on the ground, exchanging practical strategies and debating the best ways to build inclusion. Each episode feels like a candid discussion among peers, focused on turning ideas into action. The movement is all about transforming communities into thriving places for everyone, and this audio series lets you listen in on how that work gets done. Presented by Our Community, the podcast serves as both a source of inspiration and a practical toolkit, offering stories that recharge your drive and demonstrate what’s possible when people come together. It’s for anyone interested in the mechanics of social good, from government and non-profit professionals to passionate volunteers looking to deepen their impact. Tune in for genuine voices and honest talks about the challenges and triumphs of taking control, one community at a time.
