Three young Greek Australians have been included in the list of young up-and-coming talent for 2022, which was published in Adelaide’s largest newspaper, The Advertiser.
EMMA GEORGIADIS
Emma Georgiadis, or Emma G, as she’s known by fans of her podcast Empowerhouse, is a rising star in South Australia. She went from being a middle school teacher for nine years, to developing her own podcast which focuses on the emotional and social wellbeing of young teen girls.
Combining her strengths in both education and presenting, Emma says she is proud to play a role in empowering and liberating young women.
The young mother has also worked in the radio industry for over thirteen years, as an announcer, producer, newsreader, voice over artist and Director of the Board. She began volunteering at youth, community station Fresh 92.7, and has also presented for Nova 919, Hit107 and now Triple M, where you will hear her on-air as the morning announcer.
When she’s not winning gold in the Bullseye category at the 2021 Australian Podcast Awards, she’s also visiting schools to run Enlighten Education workshops for young women.
The workshops help girls aged 11 to 18 decode the mixed messages they receive about what to eat, how to act, how to look, how to please and how to be liked.
DANNY AND MICHAEL PHILIPPOU
Danny and Michael Philippou are the crazy YouTube pranksters better known as RackaRacka.
In 2019, they famously filled a car with water and drove it through a bottle shop, earning them a date in an SA court.
But the Adelaide twins are changing their tune this year with the launch of their first feature film, a horror flick called Talk to Me.
In production since mid-2020, the movie will finally start shooting in Adelaide next month with funding from Screen Australia and SAFC and backing from Causeway Films (The Badabook).
The LA-based brothers are hoping their social media success can be replicated in Hollywood, with about 15 other projects already in the works.
