Melbourne is the frame. We are the picture.

Meeting in February 2021, Nicole and Ri'chard became fast friends. Attending multiple themed parties, festivals and even australian rap battles together. The two were nearly inseperable so, when Ri'chard had the idea of making a podcast, Nicole was the only choice as his cohost. The two have always desired to share their lived experiences in Australia with their friends and family back in the States but blogging was way too hard. Thus, \"Melanated in Melbourne\" was born.

A delightful mix of insight and humor, \"Melanated in Melbourne\" chronicles the lives of the cohosts and discusses topics ranging from working abroad, Australian lingo, culture shock and more. Nicole and Ri'chard hope that this podcast can be educate others on what it's like living down under and even encourage them to push past their comfort zones and try something similar.
