A new podcast highlighting the human rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples has been launched in Magandjin during NAIDOC Week.

The 'Rights Made Real' podcast was launched at kuril dhagun in the State Library of Queensland on Monday, alongside a short film from the Bandarran Marra'Gu (Gathering Strength) Summit held in May.

The first series, Gathering Strength, features Indigenous leaders and advocates including Mick Gooda, Gaja Kerry Charlton, Jerome Wano, Professor Gracelyn Smallwood, Kaleb Mabo, Elverina Johnson, Thomas Mayo, and Professor Marcia Langton.

Queensland Human Rights Commissioner Scott McDougall, Children's Commissioner Natalie Lewis, and Social Justice Commissioner Katie Kiss also appear in the series, produced by Deadset Studios and hosted by journalist Solua Middleton.

The Theme music was produced by Clay Cassar-Daley.

Kaurareg Aboriginal and Kalkalgal, Erubamle Torres Strait Islander man, Mr Mayo said his contribution came at a critical time.

"I was at the Gathering Strength Summit about a month ago and contributed to the podcast," he said.

"I'm interviewed along with Mick Gooda, Marcia Langton and a whole lot of our leaders and some young followers as well about what's next for the future.

"It's about how we come together after all we've been through with the referendum and with the likes of the Queensland and Northern Territory Governments, how they're attacking our mob with their tough on crime approach and the incredible amount of deaths in custody that continue more than 30 years on from the Royal Commission."

He said the podcast offered space for unity and future planning.

"So it's about coming together, gathering our strength, setting the course for the future and the podcast has lots of different perspectives," he said.

"Look it up and have a listen - all the different perspectives, ideas, similarities, and inspiration you'll get from it."

The launch included reflections from the Bandarran Marra'Gu Youth Summit, facilitated by Yoora Maltha and led by Zhanae Dodd.

Mr Mayo said the wider community should take notice.

"Well our human rights have never been just given to us without a fight," he said.

"It's been on the streets, through advocacy, academics, and more and more through art."

He said the political climate added urgency.

"It's a really important time here in Queensland, under attack from the Crisafulli government, the tough on crime approach, the demonisation of Indigenous peoples, their cutting of funding for important services," he said.

"There's never been a more important time to come together and fight - this podcast, and what you take from it, is absolutely important."

Mr McDougall said the series aimed to support self-determination.

"I'm proud to announce the launch of the Queensland Human Rights Commission's first podcast, Rights Made Real - Gathering Strength series," he said.

"It features strong First Nations voices covering the themes of Healing, Talking/Listening, Acting and Dreaming."

He notes the timing reflected major shifts.

"Following the national Voice Referendum, the decommissioning of the Truth Telling and Healing inquiry, and the ongoing disregard for the human rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, we wanted to capture the voices of the community in 2025."

"This podcast supports the push for self-determination and building a Queensland where everyone feels safe and welcome."

The Rights Made Real podcast is available now across all major streaming platforms.
