Hear Greer: in 2013 the University of Melbourne bought the Germaine Greer Archive. In this podcast, we listen to the archivists who explain what it means to catalogue and comprehend a vast collection of print and audio material. We look specifically at audio recordings, made by Greer herself, between 1984 and 2008. From her musings while driving through the Australian countryside, earnest yearnings for a cuppa tea and the frustrations of a handheld Dictaphone on double-speed; we hear from audio archivist Kate Hodgetts about what it is like to have one of the greatest feminist of the 20th century in your ear.
