What a show this week - from the Nile to the Murray, from parties to courtrooms, from young peoples scholarships to the heights of academia, it's a wide-ranging program.
Phryne Fisher, Corinna Chapman . . and Ptah-Hotep?
Do you like detective fiction? If the names Phryne Fisher or Corinna Chapman mean anything to you then you’re in for a treat today. (Check out Phrynes website / and Corinnas, too )
Their creator, Melbourne author Kerry Greenwood, will be talking about her latest book. Out Of The Black Land is set in Ancient Egypt, with same-sex relationships centre stage throughout.
Diving in the Raw
But if you’re after something a little more energetic, who comes to mind when I saw RawHide, Red Raw and Rogue? Yes, between 10 and 11 we’ll be Digging Deeper with party promoter and diving coach Dean Murphy.
Michael Kirby Centre
Melbourne saw the launch recently of the Michael Kirby Centre for Public Health & Human Rights. The Centre Director Bebe Loff joins us to explain what the centre does and why its work is vital.
