Because who said local news had to be boring?
News journalists Nicola Ceccato and Djembe Archibald certainly didn't, especially when ‘Shepp Happens’ in the Goulburn Valley all the time.
They are the newsroom’s biggest Shepp talkers and now have an official platform to yap.
From pointing out the frivolous and weird moments capturing the community's attention to casual chats with some local legends — you can find it all in this podcast.
One of the podcast’s biggest aims is to include young locals in as much of the creation process as possible.
The intro music was created by young musician Adem Shaholli.
To check out his other music, head to eyesareclosed on Spotify and eyezareclosed on Instagram.

The podcast will be available on The News’ website as well as on Spotify and Acast.
The first episode is available now, where the hosts debriefed about a recent work trip, interviewed their editor and much more, so go have a listen and give them a follow now.
