Great podcast for keeping across literary goss!

I’m an author who spends a lot of time driving in the course of my day job. I use this time to listen to excellent podcasts like this one by Dani, and consider it a great way to keep up with what’s going on in the world of Australian literature. Thanks for all the work you put into this Dani –the literary community appreciates you!
