    25 SEPT

    466 - The Ern Malley Mystery (with Wil Anderson)

    Ern Malley has become one of Australia's most famous and enduring poets. Celebrated by the Angry Penguins literature movement of the 1940s, it soon came to light that there was a small problem with modernism's new hero... the poet didn't actually exist and the whole thing was an elaborate hoax. Joining us to hear about the Ern Malley Affair is Wil Anderson. This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 13:00 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
