About This Podcast

Welcome to the YARNS podcast, My name is Petra Jungmanová and I’ll be your host bringing you yarns with unique and interesting people from the vibrant cultural landscape of Australia and around the globe. I’m a multidisciplinary Bohemian artist, author, curator and publisher who migrated from the Czech Republic over 20 years ago to find my life home in Australia. Through my own journey of discovering and learning more about this beautiful land, I now have the privilege and joy of sharing curated stories of people living their best lives.
