The State Library of NSW has an interesting selection of podcasts on its website.These were recorded at public talks and open seminars on literary, historical and contemporary issues representing the Library's collections and events.
Tom Keneally, the award-winning author, tells the story behind his influential novel Schilndler's Ark. It is fascinating to hear the writer, himself talking. I am always besotted reading/listening artists reflecting on their own work.... with his carefully chosen, slow words and amazingly articulate sentences he holds the attention of the audience.The podcast is approximately 33 minutes long.
