Today on the podcast I have one of ABC Australia's most prized TV content makers Kalita Corrigan. Kalita has just launched my favourite new program 'Books that Made Us.' .An insightful look into Australian Authors who have made an impact on the world with best selling novels that reflect our Australian culture.

As an Executive Producer for ABC Arts, Kalita oversees a vibrant slate of series and feature documentaries.

Kalita is passionate about making the arts accessible to a broader audience, her work includes Tiny Oz, Inside The Opera House & AACTA Award-winning feature documentary: Firestarter – The Story of Bangarra.

Previously, Kalita was a director and series producer in the independent sector, and has made a broad range of programs for the UK, USA and Australian TV markets.

Now working at ABC Factual & Culture Kalita consistently produces high quality, award-winning, Factual and Arts programs that feature Australian voices, places and stories which connect with a broad audience across a variety of ABC platforms.

Today we will unpack the new ANC series with Claudia Karvan Books that Made us and I simply can’t wait to talk about how this show got made and why it is important for Australian audiences.

The show did launch last week and you can catch up on the 1st episode on ABC iview and episode 2 will be seen this Tuesday at 8:30 on the ABC.
