    In the final episode for season one, 'Taking Control', is the story of Sophia, a writer and a resident of an upmarket apartment building in the inner city. Irreparably damaged from a broken relationship, she lives in fear of being hurt again, until she reaches her tipping point. This is both a story of loss and hope.

    Ep 45: The Jackaroo

    Ep 45: The Jackaroo

    In 'The Jackaroo', I explore the dichotomy of the Australian landscape and celebrate those who work on this often unforgiving and unrelenting land. The jackaroo is resilient, but becomes despondent at the harsh conditions and hope the rains will come to reinvigorate the land and his flock. This is a reimagining of a piece I wrote earlier in the year.

Jacinta Dietrich ,

Love these flash fiction pieces!

I normally struggle with audiobooks and fiction podcasts - I have no idea what it is but they just don’t stick in my brain the same as interview or non-fictions podcasts. So it was delightful to find this flash fiction project. It is so much easier to listen to five minute stories and I often pop them on while I’m making a coffee or waiting for something.
