Healesville Tales is a podcast celebrating the people, stories and spirit of the Healesville community.
Hosted by lifelong Healesville local Kersten Gentle, the podcast shines a spotlight on the individuals, businesses, sporting clubs, community groups, schools, businesses and events that make Healesville such a special place to call home.
The podcast continues a tradition that began more than 35 years ago with Healesville Tall Tales, a live storytelling event created by Kersten, and The Gateway Festival, which captured the memories and experiences of local residents. Now, those conversations continue in a new format, sharing the stories of people who have helped shape our town, and those who continue to do so today.
In a world where negative stories often dominate the headlines, Healesville Tales focuses on the positive. Through engaging conversations, we explore local achievements, community connections, personal journeys and the many reasons people love being part of Healesville.
Whether you've lived here all your life, recently moved to the area, or simply have a connection to our town, Healesville Tales is your chance to hear the stories behind the people who make our community unique.
