Happy new year! | |
We’ve survived 2020 with all its challenges – catastrophic fires, the coronavirus and Australia’s first recession in 30 years.
While I can’t guarantee 2021 is going to be all smooth sailing, I can recommend a range of RN’s best podcasts to keep you entertained and informed before regular programming returns later this month.
We started 2020 by leading a national discussion about climate change with Richard Aedy’s Hot Mess series.
Of course, we could never have forecasted a pandemic and what it meant for us.
In the midst of it, Patient Zero explained how even big diseases start small and retraced the stories of disease outbreaks across the globe.
Keep reading to discover more podcasts from across RN and the ABC – stories of loss and search for justice, our changing world and even our long-kept secrets.
Whether you are heading out on a road trip or having some quite time at home, there’s something for everyone.
Happy listening,
Sarah Scopelianos
RN digital producer
