Bartlet: The Pilot

Modern life can feel like an injury. Where do we turn for hope when all seems dark? It's times like these we need the consolation of art and ducks. Join us for an evening with Michael Leunig - cartoonist and philosopher - for a glimpse into his twentieth collection of cartoons Ducks for Dark Times. Explore the mind of one of Australia's most treasured artists and find the wisdom and resilience needed for anyone who is losing faith; who's becoming exhausted or fed up with the news, and for those of us who feel we could do well to laugh or weep a little more.

Hope in Dark Times: An Evening with Michael Leunig

Kate Forsyth chats about fairytales, feminism and providing a voice for the forgotten women in history. Discussing the incredible Charlotte de la Force in Bitter Greens and her determination to live life the way she intended, we follow her incredible journey, you will fall in love with her and not just because she dressed up as a bear to rescue her younger lover, although this is reason enough.

How wonderful was it to learn about the origins of Happily Ever After, this type of ending of a fairytale was, believe it or not, had quite a feminist angle. In this time period, marriage was to simply improve the position of others in society, never for love. Therefore, if a woman managed to marry the man she desired, and a man of her choice then she really did live happily ever after, unlike so many before her.

In Beauty in Thorns, one of Kate's latest novels, we chat about Lizzie Siddal, the model in the infamous Ophelia painting as well as the women in the pre-Raphaelite era trying to be heard. We read about their lovers, their struggles, opium addiction, eating disorders and the importance of art to change the world.

Kate Forsyth has sold more than a million books, which ones have you read?

27. Kate Forsyth: Fairytales, Feminism and the Forgotten Women in History.

Robyn Cadwallader, author of the internationally praised novel The Anchoress, is in conversation with Catherine Milne on Robyn's second novel, Book of Colours, a profoundly beautiful story about creativity and connection.

Book of Colours is set in London in 1321 in a small shop in Paternoster Row, where three people are drawn together around the creation of a magnificent, illuminated prayer book. As each struggles to see the book come into being, it will change everything they have understood about their place in the world.
