Podcast: Walking in Two Worlds: The WW1 Story of Ngarridjeri ANZACs Cyril & Rufus Rigney

The Virtual War Memorial is proud to present a new podcast production from Megan Spencer.

Weaving together different voices, this 7-part podcast, Walking In Two Worlds powerfully explores the stories of the teenage Rigney brothers, Cyril and Rufus. We visit their homelands and hear from their Ngarrindjeri relatives firsthand to learn about the brothers’ lives and wartime service. Presented and produced by Australian remembrance podcast maker Megan Spencer.
