Tall Poppies: The Podcast
Spotlighting Australian
Luminaries Abroad

About the Podcast

Each episode of Tall Poppies features an interview with an exceptional Australian living abroad. The podcast showcases their work as they share their overseas experiences and journey up the ladder to international success. The first series focuses on exceptional Australians in Germany.

Who are Tall Poppies?

Tall Poppy Syndrome describes aspects of a culture in which people of high status are resented, attacked, cut down and sometimes criticised simply because they have been classified as superior to their peers. The term has been widely used in many cultures, but is particularly popular in Australia. In the first episode of the podcast, you will hear several leading Australians explain the significance of the term “Tall Poppies”.

“We can’t shut the sound out, you know. Our ears are just kind of permeable. Our bodies are permeable and porous to sound, and sound and vibration have such a huge impact on our psyches, our psychological states and our emotional state.”                                                   Liza Lim, Composer
