Welcome to Essays from a Strange Country, a podcast about Australian identity. I’m your host Jasmine Wolfe. Each episode, through the lens of what our culture has produced, such as an Australian film, literature, art, and music to ask how this country has imagined itself, and who has been conveniently left out of the portrait.
