This Does Not Exist Podcast With Lucy

This Does Not Exist Podcast With Lucy

A podcast about people and experiences that DO exist, yet often go under the radar. Host, Lucy McIvor, lives in a small town and has a lot of secrets. She shares a few of these in Episode One. Then, in subsequent eps, four of her friends and neighbours do the same. This series illuminates the bigness of smalltown life. Bursting with creativity, resilience and innovation, the private and professional lives of Lucy and her guests have already captivated listeners in Lucy's local community in Far North Queensland. A note from Lucy: Some listeners have found the musical intro a little too intrusive. I'd love to be able to do something about this, but I can't at the moment. It goes for one minute, and the best I can suggest is to skip past it if you have to. Background silence will then carry you all the way through the next 50 minutes until you encounter the outro at the end. Thank you for bearing with me in my first ever podcast, and I wish you peace and good fortune.
