013: Indira Naidoo

Episode 13 of The Blank Canvas Podcast with Indira Naidoo.

This week’s guest, is a much loved figure in the media and broadcasting space – Indira Naidoo.

After graduating with a journalism degree Indira secured a ‘Cadetship’ with ABC in South Australia. By the age of 21 Indira she interviewing the Premier of South Australia and not too long after that she was hosting and reporting for some of the country’s most distinguished news and current affair programs – including ABC’s LATE EDITION nightly news and as an anchor and reporter for SBS TV’s the WORLD NEWS TONIGHT.

By appearances her career had a remarkably smooth and easy trajectory. However, Indira’s background and upbringing had plenty of adversity which no doubt contributed to her high achieving work ethic.

Indira brings so much warmth and humanity to her interviews, I’ve always felt like everything is going to be ok when she delivers the news, even when it’s bad news!

Indira’s first book The Edible Balcony, saw her embark on a mission to transform her tiny thirteenth-floor balcony into a bountiful kitchen garden. Thirteen is clearly a lucky number for Indira, the book became a bestseller and has been reprinted many times over. This prompted another book The Edible City, likewise a bestseller and has seen Indira lead a quiet revolution throughout our cities, whereby an army of urban gardeners are turning concrete into crops, and harvests into hope.

At present, Indira hosts Weekend Nightlife, on ABC Radio across Australia.
