In this episode, Mel Cranenburgh is joined on the line by author Intan Paramaditha whose short story collection Apple and Knife was recently translated from Indonesian so that English language readers can now enjoy her eerie, gothic tales which infused with a decidedly feminist edge.

Mel also chats to Willy Lit Fest Director, Lorraine Callow and beloved kids' book author, Andy Griffiths who tell us what to expect from the western suburbs literary festival that's celebrating its 15th year.
