Where city lights meet childhood delight.

Hop aboard a heartwarming ride beneath the city in Subway Smiles, a musical journey through tunnels, tracks, and the laughter of a little boy named Landon. With the rhythm of New York’s subway as its pulse and childhood wonder as its soul, this song captures the magic of everyday adventures and the bond between a father and son. Letters, numbers, laughter, and light—it’s all part of the ride.

[Verse 1]
Runnin' through tunnels under the town
Letters numbers zoomin' all around
Subway trains carryin' dreams
Landon smiling city's gleam

[Verse 2]
A C E and 1 2 3
Colors flyin' wild and free
Subway's rhythm under feet
Laughin' kids on every seat

[Chorus]
Hear the roar Landon my boy
Subway singin' city's joy
Letters numbers magic ride
Holdin' tight side by side

[Verse 3]
Bright lights flashin' every stop
Old graffiti tags on top
Steel wheels clatter tracks below
Landon's laughter subway glow

[Bridge]
Round and round the city spins
Adventures where it all begins
Subway stories every line
Memory makers so divine

[Chorus]
Hear the roar Landon my boy
Subway singin' city's joy
Letters numbers magic ride
Holdin' tight side by side

Graeme Turner was in conversation with Frank Bongiorno on his new book Broken: Universities, Politics and the Public Good.

A strong higher education system is fundamental to civil society. The building of knowledge and the dissemination of information is vital to the proper functioning of our democracy. At the economic level, higher education is in the top three of our export industries; international students have become central to the hospitality, retail and agricultural economies; and the country desperately needs well-trained, knowledgeable citizens to shore up its future.

Yet, in February 2024, a detailed review of higher education in this country concluded that the system is broken and urgently needs fixing. The problems that afflict it are legion, including over-investment in international enrolment, an epidemic of casualisation and the burning out of a generation of academics, culture wars over the content and orientation of university research and teaching, the lack of sectoral coordination around the national interest, and the consequences of decades of funding cuts.

In Broken, Graeme Turner provides a reality check for those who imagine the academic life is one of privilege and leisure, laying bare the enormous challenges and lack of hope experienced by many in academia. He unearths the foundations of this crisis, then explains how the solution lies in an overhaul of the one-size-fits-all approach to university funding, the establishment of genuine full-time career paths, and the formation of an independent body to ensure our university system serves the national interest in both teaching and research, rather than the ferocious competitiveness of the marketplace.

Above all, we need to jettison the current economic focus on education, and re-embrace the idea that higher learning is a fundamental public good – and should be funded as such.

Graeme Turner AO is Emeritus Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Queensland. He has published 30 books and his work has been translated into eleven languages. He has served as President of the Academy of the Humanities, is a former Federation Fellow, and is the only humanities scholar to have served two successive terms as a member of the Prime Minister’s Science, Engineering and Innovation Council. He has had extensive engagement with higher education policy, research assessment and commentary on the sector, including prominent roles with the Australian Research Council, the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy, and the Learned Academies. He co-authored the landmark 2014 study of the state of the humanities, creative arts and social sciences disciplines in Australia, Mapping HASS. His 'state of the nation' book, The Shrinking Nation, was published in 2023.

Frank Bongiorno AM, Professor of History ANU, is currently President of the Council for the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, the Australian Academy of the Humanities and a Whitlam Institute Distinguished Fellow at Western Sydney University. His most recent book is Dreamers and Schemers: A Political History of Australia.

Sam Guthrie was in conversation with Mark Kenny on his gripping new espionage thriller and debut novel, The Peak. Written with an extraordinary insider knowledge of China, the realities of global power and the inner dealings of the Australian Government, The Peak weaves an intriguing story of friendship, love and betrayal.

Political hatchet man Charlie will do anything to protect Sebastian, Australian government minister and his best friend since their brutal private school days. Rising to power and prominence through international diplomatic postings and then the rough and tumble of Australian politics, they are as close as brothers - or so Charlie thinks - while both keep the secret that lies at the very heart of their relationship - a secret that in one way or another will change the world.

But then a single phrase in Mandarin is spoken in Sebastian's ear and he does the unthinkable. As Charlie tries to piece it all together - from their youth spent in Hong Kong to the recent past in Beijing and Washington - things in the outside world start to fall apart too. Planes can't land, the phone lines go down and the power is out. Then the secret intelligence services comes knocking. Charlie wonders, what the hell did Sebastian do?

From the jostling streets of Hong Kong to Beijing's shadowy halls of power and the backstabbing Machiavellian workings of Parliament House in Canberra. The Peak combines the authenticity and moral complexity of a Le Carre novel and the narrative power of an Australian Robert Harris.

'Sam Guthrie is a born writer - this is a cracking thriller' Dervla McTiernan

Prior to publishing his first novel, The Peak, Sam Guthrie had a 25 year career in international relations serving as a trade envoy to China, an Asia Pacific corporate affairs adviser and political lobbyist and a senior government official. He has worked extensively across Europe, the US and Asia, and has spent close to a decade living and working in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Prague. He has a master's degree in international relations. He splits his time between Canberra and Sydney.

Professor Mark Kenny is Director of the Australian Studies Institute at ANU, where he hosts the popular podcast series 'Democracy Sausage'. Mark is the Canberra Times political analyst and a regular on the ABC's Insiders, and countless broadcast programs across the country.

Katherine Biber was in conversation with Kate Fullagar on her new book, The Last Outlaws, a gripping work of historical true crime and a richly revealing examination of our nation at its birth. Brilliantly reconstructed from contemporary narratives, it's The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith meets Killing for Country.

In the winter of 1900, Wiradjuri man Jimmy Governor and his brother Joe murdered nine people across New South Wales, in a rampage that caused panic in the colony on the cusp of nationhood. Triggered, it seems, by a racist incident, they killed men, women and children, evading a vast manhunt until they were eventually captured. Joe was shot in the open; Jimmy survived to be put on trial. Thus the last man to be outlawed in the colony was hanged in the new nation, meeting his end in Darlinghurst Gaol as the Federation decorations were taken down. The brothers’ names still resonate, partly due to Thomas Keneally’s novel The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith and Fred Schepisi’s subsequent film, but their story has remained distorted and obscure.

Undertaken with the co-operation of the Governors’ descendants, Katherine Biber’s compelling reconstruction of events – from the murders themselves to Jimmy’s eventual execution – brings this extraordinary story back to life. In doing so it sheds fresh, vivid light on the country that inspired and reacted to the murders. Not only did many of the lawyers and politicians involved also play key roles in Federation, but the case revealed in microcosm the psychology of the nascent nation: its attitudes to land and race; its anxiety about a wider First Nations insurrection; its obsession with paperwork and the emerging ‘sciences’ of neuroanatomy and criminology; its nepotism, religiosity, sweeping police powers and sensationalist media. More powerfully than the story of Ned Kelly or the Anzacs, the fate of Jimmy Governor illuminates the origin story of the Australian nation.

Populated by a cast of extraordinary characters and compelling detail, The Last Outlaws brings the energy of true crime into the telling of history, offering an electric new understanding of both our past and our present

Katherine Biber, Distinguished Professor of Law at UTS, is a legal scholar, criminologist and historian. Her podcast The Last Outlaws won the NSW Premier’s History Award (2022, Digital History); Australian Podcast Awards (2022, Podcast of the Year, overall winner; 2022 History Podcast of the Year); Australian Legal Research Award (2022, non-traditional research award); and was a finalist in the Webby Awards (2023, Best Limited Series). Katherine is co-Editor in Chief of the international journal Crime, Media, Culture and serves on the Australian Research Council College of Experts.

Professor Kate Fullagar is an historian and award-winning author at the Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences, Australian Catholic University. She is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities and Vice President of the Australian Historical Association. She is the author of Phillip and Bennelong: A History Unravelled  ; The Warrior, the Voyager, and the Artist: Three Lives in an Age of Empire and The Savage Visit.

Michael Brissenden was in conversation with Chris Hammer on Michael's new novel, MTA, a dark, gripping thriller that explores the complexities of identity, a search for truth, and the unyielding forces of corruption in a world where lives are lived on the fringe and nothing is as it seems.

Lake Herrod, a once-thriving community, now lies in the shadow of a nearly dry lake. The town, like the water, is evaporating and its residents are left clinging to what little remains.
When Aaron Love discovers a fresh corpse near the cracked lakebed – along with evidence his missing father is alive and linked to a web of organised crime – he is thrust into a world of deception, injustice and betrayal. With the town on the brink of collapse, Aaron and a haunted detective, Martyn Kravets, uncover a web of conspiracy that reaches far beyond the small community.

‘Searing and raw, beautiful and tender for its profound humanity, Dust ventures where few dare – to the true, blistered Australian climate-changed outback, and to the desperate lives and brutal deaths that unfold on its margins. A superb novel, confronting and oh-so real.’– Paul Daley

Michael Brissenden was a journalist with the ABC for 35 years, covering politics, national security issues and spent many years working as a foreign correspondent. He now writes fiction and has published three novels: The List (2017), Dead Letters (2021) and Smoke (2024).

Chris Hammer is a leading Australian crime fiction novelist, including the internationally bestselling Martin Scarsden series: Scrublands, Silver and Trust. Chris’s current award-winning series features homicide detectives Nell Buchanan and Ivan Lucic: Treasure & Dirt/ Opal Country; The Tilt/Dead Man’s Creek; The Seven/Cover The Bones; and now The Valley/The Broken River.

Paula Gerber was in conversation with Kim Rubenstein on her new book Sex, Gender & Identity: Trans Rights in Australia.

Why are trans people so hated? Barely a week goes by without pointed media stories about the trans community, usually targeting trans women. They are likely to have a sensationalist headline and a salacious tone, and the writing is often ill-informed and vilifying. Favoured topics include women in sports, bathrooms, where prisoners are housed, and health care for trans and gender-diverse children and young people.

Why have they become contemporary ‘villains’ and the target of so much prejudice and bigotry? And most importantly, how do we change this? Is it possible to move from blaming, shaming and excluding trans people to respecting, protecting and including them? These questions are at the heart of Sex, Gender & Identity: Trans Rights in Australia, alongside the goal of increasing community-wide understanding of this much maligned minority.

Professor Paula Gerber is a law professor at Monash University, and an internationally renowned expert on human rights law and LGBTQIA+ people. Paula has written and edited numerous books and articles on human rights issues, and she is regularly featured in the Australian media, including on ABC television and radio, and on The Conversation. Paula is the Chair of Kaleidoscope Human Rights Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that advocates for better protection of the rights of LGBTQIA+ people in the Asia-Pacific region, 

Professor Kim Rubenstein, lawyer, academic, author, distinguished human rights advocate, is a champion of equal opportunity and active citizenship. She is an Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Business Government and Law at the University of Canberra and at the University of Technology Sydney and an Honorary Professor at the ANU.

Omar Musa was in conversation with Karen Viggers on his new novel Fierceland, a globe-spanning epic of power and family secrets.

How do you mourn your father when you know his secrets? After many years abroad, Roz and Harun return to Malaysian Borneo for the funeral of their father Yusuf – and to reckon with their inheritance. A renowned palm-oil baron during Malaysia’s economic rise, Yusuf built the family’s immense wealth by destroying huge tracts of rainforest. What his children know is that he was also responsible for the violent disappearance of a man who stood in his way.

Harun has become a successful tech entrepreneur in Los Angeles, Roz is an artist struggling to stay afloat in Sydney. Now they want to return something their father stole from the forests of their homeland. In their quest for redemption they grapple with the legacy of power and corruption, dreamers and exiles, thugs and zealots. Most dangerous of all, they are haunted – by the ghosts of colonialism, the ghosts of family, the ghosts of language, and the ghosts of the forest itself.

A trailblazing journey across the globe, Fierceland weaves the past and the present into an emotionally powerful family saga that plays out at a mythical scale.

'Potent and powerful, Fierceland is a shapeshifting novel of great reckoning; a brutal, beautiful study of wilderness within and without, of the ghosts that afflict and follow in the wake of family, legacy and complicity.' — Hannah Kent

Omar Musa is an author, visual artist and poet from Queanbeyan, New South Wales and is currently based in Borneo and Brooklyn.. He has released one novel, four books of poetry (including Killernova), five hip-hop records, and an acclaimed one man play, Since Ali Died.

Kate Reid was in conversation with Alex Sloan on her new book Destination Moon. A memoir of fast cars, French pastries and finding purpose. Destination Moon is an open-hearted memoir about passion and finding purpose from the woman whose mid-career, 180 degree turn, led her from the elite world of Formula 1 to opening in 2012 Melbourne's famous Lune Croissanterie, that has gone on to revolutionise the art of croissant-making.

At 13, Kate Reid already knew exactly where she was headed: a career in Formula 1, a life lived at full throttle. Like a master cartographer she had drawn the map of her future – all she had to do was follow the course she’d charted. But after earning a degree in aerospace engineering and taking up a coveted position at one of the top F1 teams in the UK, Kate discovered that the reality didn’t exactly live up to the dream. The pursuit of perfection that had once made her reach for the moon now sent her spiralling into a life-threatening battle against depression and anorexia.

From the grey skies of England and Monaco’s glittering, million-dollar harbour, to Melbourne’s trendy café scene and the spellbinding counters of Parisian patisseries, Kate searched for something that would bring meaning and passion back into her life: a destination worth driving towards at full speed.

‘A truly inspiring story of tenacity and humility, of strength and vulnerability, of dreams shattered and achieved – told so eloquently, honestly and bravely (and with Kate’s wicked sense of humour). It is also a story of love – for her family, for her passions, and in the end for herself.’ Nicole Piastri

Kate Reid is a visionary entrepreneur and the founder of Lune Croissanterie. Her career path has been anything but conventional with Kate initially pursuing aerospace engineering at RMIT University before following her lifelong passion for Formula 1 racing. After three years, however, she realised that the reality of the job didn’t match her expectations, prompting her return to Melbourne with a fresh goal: to forge a career in pastry. Kate honed her skills at one of Paris' top bakeries before opening in 2012 Lune Croissanterie, In 2023 Kate was awarded the RMIT Honorary Doctorate of Business honoris causa.

Alex Sloan AM is an award winning journalist, panellist, MC and commentator whose extensive media career spans 30 years, including 27 years with ABC Radio. Alex is a Director and Deputy Chair of Australia's think-tank, The Australia Institute and a Director of The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust. In 2017 Alex was named ACT Citizen of the Year and in 2019 was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for her significant service to the Canberra community and to the broadcast media as a radio presenter.

Julianne Schultz was in conversation with Allan Behm on the updated edition of her bookThe Idea of AustraliaA search for the soul of the nation. Its publication complements the October SBS four-part series, hostedby Rachel Griffiths,inspired by, and based on, Julianne Schultz’s book. 

What is the ‘idea of Australia’? What defines the soul of our nation? Are we an egalitarian, generous, outward-looking country? Or is Australia a place that has retreated into silence and denial about the past and become selfish, greedy and insular? 

These were some of the questions Julianne Schultz set out to answer when she wrote the book, in part using the pandemic as an X-ray, to trace strengths and  weaknesses in the stories we tell ourselves. As the executive producer of the Blackfella Films/SBS series two years later, and after the defeat of the Voice referendum, the questions still loomed. 

A lifetime of watching Australia as a journalist, editor, academic and writer has given Julianne Schultz a unique platform from which to ask and answer these critical questions. The series explores these questions with a ruch montage of leading experts, family stories and a unique use of the contemporary archive. It doesn't flinch from the past, but points to a hopeful future. 

Schultz came to realise that the idea of Australia is a contest between those who are imaginative, hopeful, altruistic and ambitious, and those who are defensive and inward-looking. She became convinced we need to acknowledge and better understand our past to make sense of our present and build a positive and inclusive future. She suggests what Australia could be: smart, compassionate, engaged, fair and informed. 

This important, searing and compelling book explains us to ourselves and suggests ways Australia can realise her true potential. Urgent, inspiring and optimistic, The Idea of Australia presents the vision we need to fully appreciate our great strengths and crucial challenges.

Julianne Schultz AM FAHA FRSN is Professor Emerita of Humanities, Languages and Social Science, Griffith University. She was the publisher and founding editor of Griffith Review from 2003-2021 and Professor of Media and Culture in the Griffith Centre for Social and Cultural Research, Griffith University.

She is a member of the board of the Sydney Writers Festival, writes a fortnightly column for The Guardian and is an acclaimed author of several books, including Reviving the Fourth Estate and Steel City Blues. She became a Member of the Order of Australia for services to journalism and the community in 2009, an honorary fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities in 2010 and a Fellow of the Royal Society NSW in 2023. 

Allan Behm, Senior Advisor, International & Security Affairs Program at the Australia Institute, Canberra, specialises in international and security policy development, political and security risk evaluation, policy analysis and development, and negotiating the policy/politics interface. Following a career spanning nearly 30 years in the Australian Public Service, he was Chief of Staff to Minister for Climate Change and Industry Greg Combet (2009 to 2013) and senior advisor to the Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Penny Wong (2017–19).

Robert Wellington was in conversation with Mathew Trinca on Roberts new book Versailles Mirrored. The Power of Luxury,Louis XIV to Donald Trump.

Why has Louis XIV's Palace of Versailles, defining symbol of hedonistic opulence in 17th-century France and synonymous with the notion of the divine right of kings, continued to shape the aesthetics of cultural capital in the centuries since his death?

In Versailles Mirrored, Robert Wellington tracks this enduring fascination with the Sun King's palace through eight case studies spanning the 17th to 21st centuries. The book demonstrates how the extravagant palace style began as a symbol of the state in the 17th century; how it was adopted by the nouveau riche to show off their financial success in the 19th century; and, remarkably, how that palace look returned to play a role in statecraft in the hands of US President Donald Trump. Wellington links the aristocratic architectural traditions of France, England, and Germany to North America through the lens of Versailles, French architecture, and the decorative arts.

Opening with a brief overview of the history of Versailles and the political and cultural motivations of its creation, subsequent chapters address aristocratic buildings in France and Germany built by the Sun King's contemporaries; historicism in the 19th century in Britain, Germany, and America; and the present day, with Trump's buildings and Château Louis XIV, known as the 'world's most expensive home', purchased by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.In uncovering the motivations of those patrons, the book ultimately reveals why Versailles remains a powerful point of reference for those who wish to flaunt their social, cultural, and political capital.

Robert Wellington FSA is Associate Professor of Art History in the Centre for Art History and Art Theory, the Australian National University. He is an art historian with a special interest in the role of material culture in history making and cross-cultural exchange on one of the world's leading experts on the Palace of Versailles. He is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, London and an expert judge on the ABCs upcoming Portrait Artist of the Year.

Dr Mathew Trinca Talalin AM FAHA is Professor of Museum Practice at the Australian National University. He is Chair of the Cultural Facilities Corporation in Canberra and sits on several arts and cultural sector boards and advisory bodies. Matthew was formerly Director of the National Museum of Australia between 2014 to 2024, and worked in senior roles in the Museum from 2003.

i am katsuya playa

shotout to katsuyagt )))

Hi, I’m Jason.

I’m a songwriter and composer. I write music as a way of processing life, faith, grief, love, and lived experience.

I think of songs as time capsules that hold moments and emotions so they can be felt again later.

I write my own songs, including melody, lyrics, structure, and musical direction.
All songs in the Roade series use AI-assisted production or vocals (the AI-assisted tools used in this project grant full ownership and commercialization rights to the artist).
This is intentional and transparent, and allows the music to sound closer to what I originally intended.

I don’t identify primarily as a singer. I sing to write, to shape melody, phrasing, and emotional intent. The focus for me is always the song itself.

My long-term musical vision is to work with other artists, singers, musicians, and producers to create something timeless and human.

When it comes to worship songs, I believe nothing replaces the human voice. We were created to respond to God, and singing together is one of the most meaningful expressions of worship. My long-term commitment is to re-record worship songs with human voices.

The Roade series represents songs from the first half of my life. What comes next is about collaboration, growth, and creating music that can live beyond me.

If these songs resonate with you, you’re welcome here.

The ANU campus is always alive with plenty to see, hear and do.
