Today’s podcast is about today, the 26th of January, Australia’s national day and a public holiday. When we polled you in 2024, we found that one in ten readers don’t know why Australia Day is held on 26 January. In today’s deep dive we’ll look at the history of the day, its protests, and its celebrations. 

Hosts: Lucy Tassell and Sam Koslowski
