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”.

"For me the interesting musician goes beyond their own instruments and looks into the world of music  - piano, chamber music or orchestral - repertoire. If this is your universe, then there is no doubt in my mind you will be the more interesting musician, simply because your whole universe is bigger. "
