Ask the Specialist is a podcast for health professionals who work with First Nations peoples in the place colonisers called the Northern Territory of Australia. Healthcare providers ask Arrernte, Larrakia, Tiwi, Warlpiri and Yolngu leaders their "burning questions" which span clinical to philosophical ideas. The Specialists are: Aunty Bilawara Lee, Pirrawayingi Puruntatameri, Rarrtjiwuy Melanie Herdman and Bernadette Nethercott, Jimmy Langdon, Sabella Kngwarraye Turner and Amelia Kngwarraye Turner.

Ask the Specialist was supported by the Communicate Study at Menzies School of Health Research. Episodes 8-10 were created in collaboration with Purple House, the Djalkiri Foundation and NT Health.
