The Ancient Egyptian city of Alexandria was regarded as the capital of knowledge and learning, all because of the city's great library that held documents from across the world.

This is the 6th most voted for topic of Block 2024!

Ern Malley has become one of Australia's most famous and enduring poets. Celebrated by the Angry Penguins literature movement of the 1940s, it soon came to light that there was a small problem with modernism's new hero... the poet didn't actually exist and the whole thing was an elaborate hoax. Joining us to hear about the Ern Malley Affair is Wil Anderson.
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 13:00 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
