The Leap Year is a new podcast from the Wheeler Centre. In each episode, host Sally Warhaft will speak to Australians with their own story to tell about this very long year – from a police officer with previously unimaginable power to a school student navigating a stop-start year, a writer with unexpected reserves of solitary time and an emergency doctor reflecting on compassion.

You’ll hear intimate accounts of dread, loss, mistakes and malaise as well as humour, ingenuity and resilience. The Leap Year: a podcast about the stretching, shrinking days of 2020 and the people living through them.
