The It Depends Podcast
Hosted by Matt Healey and Tenille Scicluna, The It Depends Podcast explores the big questions in evaluation, research, and working in complex systems. Each episode brings in guests from across the sector to talk about what's working, what's not, and why the answer is usually "it depends."

The Systems Sandbox is a limited podcast series we produced for VicHealth as part of the Local Government Partnership Capacity Support Program. It introduces systems thinking concepts in an accessible way, drawing on our work supporting local councils to apply systems approaches in their prevention work.
Alongside the podcast, we ran monthly learning sessions called Systems Studios, where participants worked through systems thinking methods in a supported, practice-based environment.
