Where is Community Channel, Australia’s OG YouTuber?

We chat Australian YouTube pioneer and fellow Sydneysider Natalie Tran of Community Channel fame.

Natalie’s observational comedy propelled her to become the most popular Australian YouTuber and led to a career in Australian media.

But in 2016, Natalie left YouTube, only having uploaded twice since.

We discuss how a lot of her catalogue is privatised, our favourite videos and the legacy of Australia’s first YouTube star.
