Pocketshalla is series of audio podcasts in a story format on six themes related to sexuality. It primarily focuses on providing information on affordable health services to young people, individuals from LGBTQI+ groups or any other groups looking for information. The collective works with government school students and with children from underserved communities. The podcasts are designed to aid teachers who are shy to introduce these topics to the students. In fact, the content of these podcasts was created with the help of government school students who were asked what they would want to learn about these topics.
