Control is a podcast highlighting women, female identifying and GNC creatives working in the music and arts industries. Each episode features change makers, game changers and music trailblazers, working in a variety of roles, from the stage to the studio and the executive suite. The episodes explore current trends and issues in the sector alongside personal stories and reflections. Championing women and GNC artists working in creative spaces, the podcast aims to support better gender representation in the industry by highlighting pioneers who are forging their own path in a very challenging environment. Each episode is fully transcribed for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences. 

 

In 2022 Control partnered with Melbourne Recital Centre to deliver season 2 of the podcast which included two episodes recorded for a live audience in the Salon.  In 2023, Control was presented live at the Soundbox, Arts Centre Melbourne as part of Always Live Festival.
