In this week's episode of The Adelaide Show, we explore writing the great novel with local authors, publishers, winemakers, and a poet.

Our three authors are, Jane Ainslie, Lee Hopkins, and Michelle Prak, and our two publishers are, Rommie Corso and Michael Bollen

Our winemakers, who have provided The SA Drink Of The Week, are Michael and Sharryn Smith from Ulster Park in Auburn.

In the Musical Pilgrimage, we hear from poet, Sarah Jane Justice.
