This Podcast will be professionally edited, with all episodes listed on a web host page by City of Launceston's Youth Advisory Group as part of their Anti-Bullying Campaign.

These stories will be workshopped and recorded as their own anonymous podcast episode. 

The podcast episodes will form the basis for Launceston Youth Advisory Group's Anti- Bullying Campaign and be listed on a web host page for other young people to access.
