🎙️Dr Jane Homewood - Astronauts and Architects

Season 1 · Episode 7

Friday, June 20, 2025 • Duration 01:07:20

This conversation with Dr Jane Homewood went to places I didn’t expect, from astronauts visiting her childhood home, to being taught by communists, and starting her career in architecture before finding a deep passion for planning and place.

Jane shared insights from a remarkable career so far, from working on iconic projects like Darling Harbour, to shaping policies at the City of Melbourne, and then influencing planning across Victoria in a senior State Government executive role.

We explored how universities once directly informed council policy, the value of great design, and why collaboration is at the heart of a civil society.

It’s a thoughtful, honest and inspiring episode.

🏛️Elected as an independent councilor at the City of Stonnington in Melbourne in 2024, Samantha is also the powerhouse behind Gertrude Street Studios. 🏛

In this wide-ranging and captivating conversation, I sit down with Sam to explore a life shaped by cities, culture, and unexpected career turns.

We delve into her formative years in inner Melbourne, the vibrant neighbourhood life of Chicago, and what it was like working alongside Aldermen in one of America’s most political cities.

Sam shares stories of raising twins in the US, the DIY spirit that defines American communities, and how a chance encounter with Julia Gillard sparked a bold pivot into public office—culminating in her election as a local councillor.

From street-level activism to international experience, this episode is a celebration of community, place, and the power of saying yes to unexpected paths. 🌏✨
