Description

What if the most important stories weren't in the headlines, but in the people around you? That's the question at the heart of The News In You, a narrative documentary podcast where award-winning New Zealand journalist Eleisha Foon digs into culture and humanity through the power of personal storytelling.


Each episode peels back the headlines to reveal the heartbeat behind the world’s biggest issues through the eyes of remarkable people who’ve faced extraordinary challenges. 

From survivors of terrorist attacks, advocates, news broadcasters, whistleblowers to everyday heroes rising from the margins, The News In You invites listeners into raw, intimate stories of resilience, courage and hope. 


With a journalist’s eye for truth and a storyteller’s gift for empathy, Eleisha uncovers how these personal battles reflect struggles we all share  and what they reveal about the world we’re shaping together.

If you’re looking for a podcast that proves the news is more than facts and soundbites — it’s the stories we carry inside us — The News In You is essential listening.


Welcome to 'The News in You' where there is a shared truth behind everything.
