Welcome to the Sydney Review of Books podcast, a show about Australian books and writers.

Each week we publish criticism and essays by Australia’s best writers on our website ­– and now we’ve got a podcast to match. It’s about what writers do to make books, essays and poems – and what they do to make a living.

We’re bringing you five episodes featuring some of our favourite local writers: 

  • Teela Reid and Merinda Dutton from Blackfulla Book Club
  • Pat Grant, author of the graphic novel, The Grot
  • Eileen Chong, a poet with numerous collections to her name
  • Rawah Arja, Author of the YA novel, The F Team
  • And Andrew Brooks in conversation with fiction writer, Laura Elizabeth Woollett

Settle in for audio essays, conversations and documentary and make sure to subscribe to our feed.
