Hello and welcome to my final episode of season two. I hope you have enjoyed listening as much as I’ve loved creating every moment of this show.

This week, I’m chatting with Matt Young, a storyteller, performer, long time foster carer, and proud adoptive rainbow dad. Matt and his family have lived a truly global life, with a journey into parenthood that has carried them across continents, through many different communities, and ultimately into the heart of regional Queensland.

Matt is also an accomplished actor and playwright. His work is shaped by his lived experience, from coming out, to meeting his husband Peter, to stepping into fatherhood. His most recent piece, The Sky Is Falling, premiered in Blackall in 2025 and explores the tender space where family, culture, and the language of parenthood meet. Matt shares the rainbow road that led him to become a dad and everything that has unfolded since.

Be sure to check out Matt's website to keep up to date with what he is up to these days and details of his latest play: www.mattyoungactor.com

Thank you to every single person who has supported this season and this little project of mine. To stay up to date, follow @overtherainbowpod on Facebook and Instagram. Bye for now.
