2: Ant Melder talks to Pia Chaudhuri

Welcome to Brown Riot podcast. This podcast is all about what it means and what it takes to be successful in advertising other creative industries when you’re from a different ethnic or socio-economic background to the majority. In each episode, Coffee Cocoa Gunpowder co-founder Ant Melder speaks to a creative industry leader from a diverse cultural background. It’s a celebration of diversity that offers inspiration, insight and much-needed role models. Not all guests are strictly ‘brown’ but they are all awesome.



All episodes are recorded in Smith &amp; Western’s dedicated podcasting studio in Redfern, Sydney. As was the Brown Riot theme music, which was composed and recorded by Smith &amp; Western and features throughout the podcasts.
