Noè Welcome to Why Write, a super short podcast that asks writers just that, why they write. Hi, I’m Noè Harsel, a writer and Chair of Writers Victoria, and I’m excited to chat to a diverse group of writers and simply ask, why write? I’m glad you’re here with me.

Today we chat to Astrid Edwards. Astrid is an interviewer, writer, advocate and Chair of the Melbourne Writers Festival. She is one half of Bad Producer Productions. An independent Australian podcast network specialising in arts, comedy and sports podcasts. She hosts the Garrett: Writers on Writing and co-hosts Anonymous Was a Woman. She’s a member of the Victorian Disability Advisory Council, where she advises the Minister for Disability ageing and carers.
