In addition to the podcasts we support, we have listed on this page a range of Australian podcasts that discuss writing, reading, books and literature. You can explore this list here.
Why Write
Why Write? is a super short podcast that asks one writer one question: why write? Of all the things they could do and ways they could spend their time, why sit in front of that blank page for hours, days, months or years?
Noè Harsel, herself a writer, talks to different types of writers each week to find out why they do it; why they write!
Visit the Why Write? website here, or listen to episodes via Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
The Garret
Love writing? Looking to improve your writing? Or do you just love listening to writers talk about their craft? If yes, The Garret is for you.
The Garret interviews the best Australian writers writing today about their writing craft, including Maxine Beneba Clarke, Tony Birch, Leigh Sales, Benjamin law, Jennifer Mills, Jay Kristoff, John Marsden and many more. These writers represent many genres, but the common thread is their success: they are the top of their fields. The interviews explore how the best of the best draft, edit, pitch and publish their writing. Every episode is published with a complete transcript to increase educational value and access.
The Garret is a labour of love on behalf of all emerging writers. It does not operate for revenue or profit. If you would like to listen to The Garret, simply subscribe on Apple Podcasts (or wherever else you listen to your podcasts) and join the conversation on Facebook or Twitter.
