Cancelled festival turns into podcasts

Melbourne Writers Festival launches podcasts and First Nation events.

Melbourne Writers Festival has just launched a new podcast series to replace some of its COVID-cancelled 2021 events from its festival which was titled (somewhat ironically), Tell Me How It Ends.

MWF will initially release six conversations from its original festival line-up, including its Opening Night event featuring Stan Grant, Claire G Coleman and Santilla Chingaipe.
