Published in Issue 11 | July 2022.OAK MagazineIntroducing the audio version of OAK MagazineIntroducing the audio version of OAK MagazineWelcome to our audio version of OAK Magazine

I’m Kimberley Furness, the founder and editor of OAK Magazine and host of A Friend of Mine podcast.

I believe in the power of storytelling - it plays a vital role in building, connecting and strengthening communities.

Since launching our print publication in 2017, we’ve been sharing real, authentic, powerful stories that centre around regional and rural women who run a business. These stories are changing the way women view themselves and what’s possible.

It’s beyond time that we bring our published stories to life and, more importantly, make them accessible to everyone especially those who have a visual impairment, learning difficulty, or low literacy. 

You will notice that each story has an image description. This is very new for us, and it’s something that I hope we can improve on each issue. 

Audio is one of the most intimate forms of media. The human voice is a powerful and emotive instrument. I have some special and very talented friends helping me with the audio version. These women have experience in radio and tv broadcasting. I really hope you enjoy listening to them narrate the stories as much as I have. 

Get ready to delve into the real and unscripted stories of women living, working and driving change in regional and rural Australia. 

If you have any questions, suggestions or just like to celebrate a win, connect with us on Facebook and Instagram or visit our website at www.oakmagazine.com.au
