Through season one, we loved bringing readings directly to you from some of our favourite writers. And we’re excited to do it again with Season Two. This time around, we’ll have five new episodes to carry you through leafy Autumn. This first episode of themed 'Fungi'. We’re so excited to share these reflections of connection, community and weaving with you – with Nardi Simpson and Aisha Trambas.

Our final episode of the season is Lunar. We asked three artists to ponder the night sky – to turn towards the moon as she hangs, watching over us. Tune in to hear from Lay the Mystic, Prema Arasu and Georgia Kartas as they respond to the theme Lunar.

For this episode of Vignettes, we invited Yamiko Marama, Vince Ruston and Lou Garcia Dolnik to respond to the prompt “moth” – to share with us the dreams they pin on the wing span of these fluttering friends.

For this episode, we invited Awale Ahmed, Christy Tan and Ruby Hillsmith to respond to the theme of Sky. We can’t wait for you to hear what they...

For this first episode, we asked Philip Marri Winzer and Victoria Alondra to respond to the theme of 'Grain'. To us, grain speaks to the smallness of something at its beginning, which is why it felt like a perfect opener for this new podcast.
