Australian Podcasts Expand Access To Literary Conversation

Australian literary podcasts are expanding how readers access literary conversation by moving longform discussion from festivals and print into audio. A review of six shows — The Secret Life of Books, Fully Lit, Story Saloon, Secrets from the Green Room, The ABR Podcast and The Book Show — finds they offer deep close readings, performances, industry insight and historical context. These formats lower barriers to wide reading and support writers, scholars and listeners.
