Charlotte Wood and Amanda Lohrey

Decorated Australian authors Charlotte Wood and Amanda Lohrey join Mel on the show this week, to discuss their new novels Stone Yard Devotional and The Conversion. It’s a happy accident that these two reads are kindred spirits, each defined by spartan, meditative prose, an interest in secular religion and what it means to hope and grieve today.

The Hidden History Of Australia's Other Bushrangers; Raina MacIntyre On Epidemics And Lab Leaks, The COVID-19 Information Wars, And Biosecurity; Federal Environment Policy With Brendan Wintle

Historian Dr Meg Foster from the University of Cambridge talks about the fascinating hidden history of Australia's other bushrangers in her book, Boundary Crossers. Meg talks about the bushrangers who didn’t fit into Australia’s national mythology, like African American man Black Douglas, who was seen as the terror of the Victorian goldfields, Sam Poo – Australia’s only Chinese bushranger, and Captain Thunderbolt’s partner, Aboriginal woman Mary Ann Bugg. Professor Raina Macintyre talks about her new book on pandemics and biosecurity, Dark Winter. A world-leading epidemiologist and biosecurity expert Raina MacIntyre discusses the dangers of information warfare during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, as well as the history of biological attacks, lab accidents and epidemics, synthetic biology, and gain of function research. She reveals a pattern of denial, silence and cover-up around unnatural epidemics and the powerful vested interests at play. Dr Brendan Wintle, Professor in Conservation Ecology at the University of Melbourne talks about some major developments on environmental conservation policy at the federal level. This includes the creation of the Biodiversity Council – a scientist-led think-tank, the Threatened Species Action Plan, and long overdue changes to the EPBC Act in response to the Samuel Review.

Abbey Lay

The idea for Abbey Lay's debut novel came to her on a bus ride in Mexico... next thing she knew she was shortlisted for the Victorian Premier's Award for an Unpublished Manucript in 2022. Mel gets into the nitty gritty of the novel, Lead Us Not, asking how much of the story is autobigraphical (you might be surprised), why complex female friendships aren't properly portrayed in media and maybe the biggest question of all: why are teenage girls so cruel to each other?
