Portrait of a man with dark hair, wearing glasses with a dark frame, and a maroon sweater, smiling at the camera with a neutral background.

JOEL CARNEGIE.

Storymaker. Musical Director. Broadcaster.

I make original work. Stories from real life — on air, on stage, and on screen.

My works include Hells Gates, which told the story of a major whale rescue from the west coast of Tasmania onto the mainstage and into a worldwide simulcast; Stardust + The Mission (double bill), which began as an ABC radio documentary and became a live production touring 45 cities and towns with more than 60 community partners and 200 local musicians, recognised by the New York Festivals International Radio Awards; Three Metres, a film made in Kiribati at the meeting point of climate and culture; and Listen to Love, an Audible Original.

My work has been commissioned and broadcast by the ABC, the BBC World Service, CBC, Deutsche Welle, Radio France Internationale and American Public Media, with recognition from The Whickers.

Right now, I'm in creative development on a new work with Back to Back Theatre. Each weeknight, I'm on air nationally on ABC Classic.
