Richard talks to artist, facilitator, educator and play specialist Cat Sewell about tapping into kids’ innate ability to play.

Then he talks to Nicole Beyer, who is the Executive Director of Theatre Network Australia, about the latest funding round from The Australia Council for the Arts. Beyer says that it’s vital for people to advocate for the arts sector in the face of ongoing cuts.

Finally Richard speaks with Angela Savage who is the Director of Writers Victoria. She says that the pandemic might be a good time for some people to write, but perhaps not everyone. She advises that the writing process requires space for quiet reflection and a lot of hard work.
