A provocative podcast in the Southern Highlands of NSW from a long-time local, Nicole Smith, and a self-confessed Sydney transplant, Rachael Oakes-Ash. It's the podcast that says what we’re all thinking, because regional living comes with its own conversation.*Nicole Smith is a Wingecarribee Shire Councillor, but what she says on the podcast is strictly her own personal views, not those of council. Rachael Oakes-Ash isn’t on council and is gloriously unfiltered. They don’t always agree and honestly, that’s when it gets interesting.Follow @sohighlandspod on IG and @sohighlands on FB and YT
