Albany Is

Albany Is is an app-based immersive audio experience that draws on more than 170 recorded interviews to create something available on the phone you carry in your pocket. Part oral history, part interactive podcast, the app invites listeners to walk through Kinjarling/Albany and hear the region narrated by the people who know it best. From Menang Elders and broader Nyoongar community members whose connection to this country stretches back tens of thousands of years, to post-war migrants who built new lives from the groundup, to teenagers figuring out what this place means to them right now. Co-created by FORM Building a State of Creativity, Envelope Audio, Barking Wolf and the local community, Albany Is weaves together the voices and sounds of the region into a living, breathing portrait of Albany.

Presented by FORM and produced by Envelope Audio and Barking Wolf, as part of the Albany 2026 program. Lotterywest is a Major Supporter of the City of Albany 2026 Program.
