Risky Business

Season 5, Ep. 5

Five audio makers give provocations on the theme ‘risk’; what risk sounds like, how it feels to take it, how we make room for taking risk in our storytelling. Who defines what’s ‘risky’ or ‘safe’, in an audio story, a career, an industry? After listening to Pat Abboud (ABC / JCAF), Sarah Dingle (ABC), Marlee Silva (Tiddas 4 Tiddas / Always was, always will be our stories), Jessica Hamilton (Slaughterhouse Road) and Renay Richardson (Broccoli Content), you won’t think about risk in the same way again.
