1/3
Listened to #PhillipAdams and #RogerPulvers presenting a brief history of #AustralianJapanese relations on #ABCRadioNational #LateNightLive.
There was some emphasis on the #WhiteAustraliaPolicy, little to none on the atrocities committed against Australian POWs and much on shared values and a current strong relationship.

Thing is (in my understanding) the earliest trade interactions between #Australia and #Japan weren't mentioned.

My top 5 most listened to #podcasts for 2023. Can't explain the discrepancy in listening time between 1 and 2, but Late Night Live with #PhillipAdams is definitely my top daily favourite! ❤️

I think a #writer survives by being misunderstood. I never know why writers want to be understood. When #writing really succeeds, people discover not the writer but themselves in it. ~ #RichardFlanagan with #PhillipAdams on #ABCRN #LateNightLive ✍️

British politics is basically a broken toilet. You think that you've flushed these people away, and they just come back. ~ #IanDunt on ABC RN's Late Night Live with #PhillipAdams 🚽

As a #MartinAmis fan, I enjoyed last week's tribute repeat episode of ABC Radio National's #LateNightLive from 2020, with #PhillipAdams in conversation with the recently departed English author about the last book he wrote, Inside Story, on the death of his closest friend, #ChristopherHitchens.

Phillip and Martin also explore other questions on how to live, grieve and die. And my favourite part of their conversation is a philosophical discussion about 36 minutes into the episode, where Phillip admits to Martin that he shares the English poet and author Philip Larkin's fear of "being dead" rather than "dying" itself. That is, "the notion of billions of years of nothingness". To which Martin responds, "Did you mind all those millenia when you were yet to born?"

Please note: Phillip issues a "health warning" that the episode contains some "adult themes" and "if that's not you cup of tea, perhaps switch off". Or, in our case, scroll on.
