Richard is joined by Evelyn Richardson, the Chief Executive of Live Performance Australia, to discuss the organisation's two-year recovery plan for the arts. Richardson would like to see live venues and their staff supported by the government until they can resume their work in a safe way.

Plus Kent Morris, the CEO of Torch Gallery, gets on the line to talk about Confined 11. It's the latest in their series of exhibitions featuring works from Indigenous artists who are or have recently been, incarcerated. Morris says "Interestingly, for First Nations Australians across the country we don't have a word for art because what is perceived as art is just part of our everyday life."

Richard debuts a new segment 'Demystifying the Arts'. He speaks with Sarah Goodes, the Associate Artistic Director at the Melbourne Theatre Company, about the role of a theatre director. Goodes sees her role as collaborative world building. She says "It should be the function of art to help us understand the times we're living in".
