FreeWho Gets to Tell Australian Stories?
Increased reader interest in culturally diverse stories and a greater awareness among publishers of the need to support diverse writers is changing the Australian literary landscape. But is it too little too late? How do new voices break through the barriers to publication? Should there be restrictions on who can tell whose story? What is an Australian story?
With Winnie Dunn, Mawunyo Gbogbo, and Dub Leffler. Hosted by Michael Mohammad Ahmad.
