Then, how have post-9/11 wars and campaigns impacted the development of today’s youth? Multi award-winning author Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah calls in to discuss the insights she has gleaned in the research for her new book ‘Coming of Age in the War on Terror’, out via New South Books.
And Katie Stewart, General Manager at the Victorian Music Development Office explains the research findings of an RMIT into the devastating impact the pandemic has had on the Victorian music sector, how some artists are bouncing back, and what the Victorian music scene will look like in a post-covid Australia.
