Episode 50: Own Voices

This episode is dedicated to all things #OwnVoices. This movement (which you've no doubt come across on social media) champions diverse creators, and people telling their own stories - whether that be about their race, culture, disability or sexuality. We shine a spotlight on some of Australia's outstanding own voices talent, interviewing not one but three creators in the kidlit and YA spaces. (Please note we span some older reads than usual, should you have little ears listening out for kid-based content!). Meet middle grade author Remy Lai, author of critically acclaimed books Pie in the Sky and Fly on The Wall; artist, writer and Deaf activist Asphyxia, author of MG series The Grimstones and upcoming YA novel Future Girl; and award-winning YA author Alison Evans, author of Ida, Highway Bodies and Euphoria Kids. We also review some excellent new reads by Own Voices creators, so standby for book recs!
