Really loved working on this episode - Sumner Locke Elliott is such a fascinating writer. If you're interested in the arc of OzLit and queer voices, please have a listen to the series, I can't believe we're already up to Ep 4!

Scam Factories: the inside story of Southeast Asia’s brutal fraud compounds People around the world have lost billions of dollars to scams. But the scammers are often victims, too. We’re taking you inside their world.

A billion dollar industry where scammers themselves are often victims, trapped in large compounds without their passports and a way to escape. Terrifying.

Proud to have sound designed this new podcast series from @theconversation.com, well done team! theconversation.com/scam-factori...

a recent collection of my micro soundscapes. was so lovely to visit Gariwerd (the grampians) and be immersed in some deep listening in wondrous Djab Wurrung and Jardwadjali country. (also, hi bluesky πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ)
