The Narratives Team have been down to Bellingen Writers Festival and as always we had a wonderful time ( Thanks Seth and Jenny and all of the wonderful Festival crew of volunteers!)

Here’s the first of the brilliant authors we collected for the Library, later in the year we will be producing a a whole new series of Podcasts with these authors collected into themed broadcasts.

Robyn Williams’ latest book is subtitled ‘ letters from the brink’ and he has a lot to get off his chest about the state of the world, even his own personal state as he gives us a blow by blow account of his treatment for bowel cancer. In this read he decries how the definition of ‘left wing’ has become a derogatory term, instead of merely reflecting the opposite view to conservative opinion.

I could have placed this read in ‘Science’ or ‘Philosophy’ but in the end placed it in ‘Memoir’ — as it contains so much of his views on  life.  It may be re-categorised later in the year!

As always his interview is eloquent and erudite and we could have continued discussion much longer than time allowed!
