ABC Radio National – Steely Women

In July 1980 Australian history was made when a group of blue collar women took on BHP. The women wanted to work alongside the men at the Port Kembla steel works. And so began the nation’s longest running anti-discrimination case. The protest was unprecedented. 40 years later, the triumphant women tell their story.

History Lab – Reading the Signs

The signature is one of the most fundamental tools used by the law to authenticate or identify a person. But strangely, the law struggles to define what exactly a signature is. I wrote and produced this episode of History Lab that looks at how Australia’s legal system has been inconsistent in how it has interpreted signatures of Indigenous people.

History Lab – In Case I Die in This Mess

Death, money and family are the key elements in any last will and testament. But they make for a killer cocktail that unleashes a special force not present in any other part of the law.
I wrote and produced this episode of History Lab that looks at how the law determines your last wishes through some truly unusual cases.

I am co-producer of the podcast Brain on Nature. The six-part narrative documentary presents science and research around the relationship between of nature and the human brain. Brain on Nature is an independent self-funded podcast. We have received widespread critical acclaim across the world.

I could just not go – KCRW 24-Hour Radio Race

I produced this piece with Jason L’Ecuyer for KCRW’s 24-Hour Radio Race in 2019. It’s a short piece on what it’s like to find out you have cancer, then fight it.
“You’re going to have to have chemo, but it’s going to be pretty chill. That’s the way he sold it to me”.

Google and Queerstories- My Mother’s Kitchen
