This is the grand finale of Season 2, and we are closing with a story that hits straight to the heart. Proud Murrawarri and Filipino artist Dobby steps up to the mic with Fight, a powerful exploration of Country, community, and song.

For Dobby, music is not just about beats and bars. It is a way to speak to his people, honour his roots, and protect what matters most. In this episode, he takes us deep into the role of music as a form of protest, connection, and healing. We hear about the lessons that shaped him, the mentors who believed in him, and the moment he realised that his voice could carry much more than a melody.

From the rhythm of the streets to the sound of the river, Dobby shows us how song can unite generations, inspire change, and keep culture alive. It is both a call to action and a celebration of the fight we all carry in our hearts.

This is the penultimate episode of the season and the final story from proud Larrakia and Meriam Mir storyteller Aaliyah-Jade Bradbury. Big Esso, meaning “big thanks” in Torres Strait Creole, is a love letter to the women in her family and to the islands that shaped them. It is a story that could only be told by a First Nations woman and it carries the unshakable rhythm of the Torres Strait.

Aaliyah takes us into the heart of her lineage, from her great-grandmother, a fierce matriarch with fire in her voice, to her trailblazing mother and grandmother who carved their place in spaces not built for them. Through their stories, we see the strength, humour, and quiet resilience that has been passed down through generations of women who refused to be small.

Set against the backdrop of saltwater Country, Big Esso captures the beauty of connection to place and the responsibility that comes with legacy. It is both a personal reflection and a celebration of Torres Strait Islander identity, womanhood, and survival.

In this episode we return to Micah Kickett for his final story of the season. A proud Koori and Noongar man, Micah has already shown us the power of blending sharp wit with deep reflection. Now he takes us somewhere more personal, back to Western Australia and the Mogumber Mission, once known as the Moore River Native Settlement.

It is a place heavy with history and part of the Stolen Generations. Many Aboriginal children were taken here, including Micah’s Uncle Roger. But this story is about more than loss. Walking side by side, Micah and Uncle Roger revisit the mission grounds to uncover the memories and connections that live there. Some are painful, some are tender, and all are told with honesty and heart.

Through their conversation, we see how healing can come from returning to the places that shaped us, and how sharing our stories can reclaim the spaces that once tried to silence them. It is a moving reminder that the past is never just behind us. It lives in the land, the people, and the choices we make today.

This episode is about courage, reinvention, and taking the road less travelled. Proud Larrakia and Meriam Mir storyteller Aaliyah-Jade Bradbury begins her journey in a plumbing supply store, steel caps on and hair in a “don’t talk to me” bun. On the surface, it was just a job. But beneath the routine was a quiet ache, the feeling that life was slowly shrinking her world.

Aaliyah’s story is a powerful reminder that dreams rarely come wrapped in certainty. Through a single moment by the water with a friend, she begins to see that the life she is living is not the one she is meant for. That moment becomes the catalyst for a leap into the unknown — trading stability for possibility, and eventually, walking a path that would lead to her becoming the first Indigenous woman to win an International Emmy.

It is a story about grief dressed as comfort, about the fear of starting over, and the strength it takes to listen to the voice inside that says “you were made for more.” Raw, funny, and deeply human, Aaliyah’s journey shows us that sometimes the most important stories we tell are the ones we write for ourselves.

This episode is about balance, quick changes, and not letting anyone put you in a tidy little box. Meet Micah Kickett, a proud Koori and Noongar man who spends his days in a suit and tie as a lawyer… then swaps the briefcase for a microphone to become a stand-up comedian by night.

Micah takes us on the fastest commute ever, racing from the courtroom to the comedy stage, still in the same suit, finding laughs in the kind of situations only he could tell you about. Along the way, he shares how humour became his secret weapon, helping him navigate two completely different worlds and reminding us that you can be more than one thing at a time.

From legal briefs to punchlines, this is a story about finding your voice, owning your space, and making people laugh while you do it. Micah proves that sometimes the best way to speak your truth is to tell a really good joke.

The wait is over. Season 2 of Find and Tell kicks off with a story that will have you turning the volume up and your head nodding along. Proud Murrawarri and Filipino artist Dobby takes centre stage with Mic Check, a deep dive into the heart of hip hop and why it is one of the most powerful cultural connectors in the world.

From the Bronx to Redfern, Dobby shows how a beat can carry a message, how a rhyme can tell a truth, and how music can keep culture alive. This is not just about making tracks, it is about making space for community, reclaiming language, and raising voices that need to be heard.

He brings the fire with help from voices like Fred Leone and rising star KAYPS, proving that hip hop is more than just a soundtrack. It is a movement, a way to heal, a way to fight, and a way to bring people together.

The Find and Tell finale continues as Mark and Ben battle it out over the theme Lost In Translation. This week we hear from Ben.

In passing conversation at a Christchurch pub, Ben discovered that all New Zealander's learn the Māori language in school. This left Ben wondering why he was never taught his Aboriginal language and he seeks out an answer. Ben's search leads him into deeper questions about Australian Aboriginal language preservation and the ownership of cultural knowledge - and even has his own mind changed.

At end of this episode Jamila Rizvi will crown our Find And Tell Champion, who will it be, Mark Mariano or Ben Haywood?
