Inspired by the NLA Publishing book, Bold Types, the book by Dr Patricia Clarke that told the stories of women journalists working in Australia between 1860 to the end of World War II. Bold Types the podcast is hosted by Amy Remeikis who is joined by Dr Clarke and a stellar line-up of contemporary female journalists reflecting both their experiences and those of their forebears.
A winter running challenge by a group of family members, friends and work colleagues has raised vital funds for a team of volunteer doctors who carry out life-saving work in Cumbria.
