Acmi Podcasts

As part of the Emerging Writers’ Festival, we hosted a panel exploring over half a decade of Australian television broadcasting with a fascinating look at the ABC. With its history stretching back to 1956, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation is an integral part of the Australian television landscape. ACMI and the Emerging Writers' Festival bring together a special panel of writers, critics and commentators to explore over half a decade of what many refer to as "Aunty", with a fascinating exploration of our national broadcaster. Taking a look back at its humble beginnings broadcasting a single non-commercial television channel, all the way through to its current position providing a suite of content across numerous terrestrial, digital and web based channels, our panel will explore past programs and examine the current crop of acclaimed ABC series including Rake, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, and Redfern Now.
