In this special episode, our usual presenter, Courtney Collins, is interviewed by our Producer Lisa Madden.

Courtney talks about her novel writing process and her PhD 'Working against whiteness in creative literary production'. She shares insights from living in the remote Northern Territory in Ngukurr, working amongst the indigenous community, and how what she learnt in that time has influenced her work and her life.

Many thanks to Hattie Dalton for allowing us to use her outrageous but immediately understandable quote in this episode.

Clare Murphy is a Storyteller by trade. In this episode she talks about the long history of storytelling in Ireland, her birth country, and how storytelling culture differs around the world but is ultimately essential to humanity.

Clare lives in Bristol, England now, but she has worked with organisations across the globe as diverse as NASA, the NHS and the New Zealand All Blacks. She realised early on in her career that Storytelling was going to be an isolating and lonely road if she didn't cultivate connection with like-minded people. She talks about how she is inspired and kept company by artists, poets and dancers both living and dead.
