An autobiographical audio documentary I made for ABC Radio National's History Listen, looking into the mass migration of Filipina women to Australia in the late 20th-century. I was awarded ABC Radio National's Tony Barrell Fellowship to make this documentary — a fellowship that celebrates one of RN's most creative audio makers.

An ABC Big Ideas panel I produced looking into who gets to control how housing is designed and delivered. Guests included the award-winning architect Carles Baiges Camprubi, Yale's Enid Storm Dwyer professor of architecture Keller Easterling, and RMIT University urban planning scholar, Libby Porter. This panel was produced in collaboration with Melbourne's annual urbanism conference, the Living Cities Forum.

A conversation I produced for ABC RN's Blueprint For Living with type designer Marie Boulanger. Her book, XX XY: Sex, Letters, and Stereotypes looked at the reasons why we seem to anthropomorphise type, specifically, the ways some of us continue to attribute gender to certain typefaces.
